It's actually delightful to be here
-
Not Synced
So thanks to for inviting me.
-
Not Synced
I am a mathematician. And you may not
-
Not Synced
associate mathematicians with people that
-
Not Synced
love art.
-
Not Synced
But I happen to think that mathematics is
-
Not Synced
the most beautiful thing on earth.
-
Not Synced
And I want to convince you today that
-
Not Synced
that's the case.
-
Not Synced
Now we're going to use a few tricks.
-
Not Synced
So we're not just going to stare at
-
Not Synced
equations. I get really a wonderful
-
Not Synced
feeling inside of me when I stare at a
-
Not Synced
system of equations. But I'm not expecting
-
Not Synced
you to have that same sort of feeling.
-
Not Synced
So what I'd like to do is provide some
-
Not Synced
color and some illustrations of the
-
Not Synced
systems of equations.
-
Not Synced
Now, matrices, what are matrices, you know?
-
Not Synced
Why, as a mathematician, do I love them so
-
Not Synced
much? Well, let me just give you a little
-
Not Synced
bit of a feel of the sort of problems I
-
Not Synced
work on. I'm a computational mathematician.
-
Not Synced
And I really like things to do with fluid
-
Not Synced
flow. So you give me a fluid, I like to
-
Not Synced
simulate it. So I've done work on
-
Not Synced
coastal ocean flows
