Professor Elizabeth Mansfield from the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science will deliver the London Taught Course Centre’s (LTCC) Christmas Lecture on ‘Induction to Moving Frames and its Applications’ at University College London on Monday 11 December.
The talk will be followed by a launch event for the LTCC’s book on Advanced Mathematics.
Abstract:
I will give a gentle introduction to moving frames as they are now understood. Although the term is associated with Elie Cartan, the ideas underlying moving frames have a long history in differential geometry. The modern definition encompasses those ideas but can be used in new applications such as numerical schemes for solving differential equations and image processing.After showing the basic ideas and the key results, I will show some applications in the smooth and discrete calculus of variations,
featuring joint work with Tania Goncalves, Ana Rojo-Echeurua, and Michele Zadra.
The Lecture will start at 6pm in room 505 at the Department of Mathematics, UCL.
