G. Recent Organizational Activities
Applied Mathematics Seminar (2003 - present)
Interregional, interdisciplinary, organizing with Jay Adin Mann Jr. CWRU, Chemical Engineering, L. Reichel (Kent State University, Mathematics) and Marshall Leitman (CWRU, Mathematics). (Goals: Generate interdisciplinary research (including joint interdisciplinary grants) and new applied Ph.D. pro- grams.
Besides having speakers from the applied mathematics community on campus and nearby universities we organize reading seminars of classical literature on applied mathematics. In Fall 06 we read an original paper by A. Einstein on Brownian motions In Spring and Fall 07 we read a fundamental paper by C.E. Shannon. In Spring 08 semester we studied Kolmogorov's complexity theory and its applications. As of Fall 07 our Applied Mathematics Seminar has been listed as a research graduate course where students may receive credit according to their level of participation.
