| February 2008 : | John McCuan will offer a short course on math soap |
| This class will cover the mathematical equation of simple bubbles and the estimation of height. This class is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. If you are interested in this course send an e-mail to Dave Auckly including your course schedule and free times between April 15 and April 29. Abstract of lecture 1: We will give an overview of some of the surprising things we think are true about these bubbles but for which we know no proof. In addition, the first in a sequence of estimates related to the mathematical existence theory of these bubbles (and to existence theory for more general equations) will be discussed. We will also introduce the most important fundamental tool used in the analysis of these equations - the maximum principle. |
