16:00 - PUBLIC TALK - Maths & Stats Colloquium : Deciding that two groups are the same: an update on group isomorphism
|
More Information
|
Groups are mathematical objects that abstractly capture the concept of symmetry. Two groups are isomorphic if they essentially describe the same data, but they might be given with respect to different frames of reference. More specifically, two groups are isomorphic if there is a 1-to-1 (...)

Colloquium followed by refreshments in Monadelphous Integrated Learning Centre
Applied mathematics involves building models of the real world. When those models consist of differential equations (as they very often do) one can seek to do one of two things: (1) make approximations that (...)

16:00 - EVENT - Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium : Why do we all like the Laplacian?
|
More Information
|
Abstract: Laplace's interpretation of the gravitational potential produced a huge impact on science at large, and we will try to review some of the important byproducts obtained in several disciplines through the mathematical analysis of the Laplacian operator.

16:00 - EVENT - Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium : Symmetry, Maths, and the Finite Simple Groups
|
More Information
|
Symmetry appears to be a guiding principle underlying most laws in science. For example, nature uses symmetry for compact encoding of genetic information, and postulating such "genetic economy" led Crick and Watson to discover the particular icosahedral symmetry of viruses.
