SPECIAL
EVENTS:
May 2009:
Modern Perspectives in Applied
Mathematics: A Meeting in Honor of Andrew J. Majda
May 18-22, 2009, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, WWH
109
A conference in honor of
Andrew J.
Majda on his 60th birthday. Stochastic and multi-scale
modeling is
becoming a main driving force in many scientific and
engineering
disciplines. Many problems in sciences involve quantifying the
behavior
of complex systems with a very large number of degrees of
freedom.
These systems interact on a large span of scales and require
to
incorporate stochastic effects to account for model errors
and/or
disturbances from under-resolved scales. This conference will
discuss
recent advances in this area by bringing together leading
experts in
nonlinear partial differential equations, atmosphere and ocean
dynamics, turbulence, combustion, and data assimilation.
