Mathstat Graduate Student Seminar - Adam Artymowicz

This week, Adam Artymowiczwill talk to us about the mechanics of rotating bodies:

In this talk, I will describe how to calculate the trajectory of an object tumbling in space. Aside from the obvious applications in aerospace engineering, this problem is very interesting mathematically; it is the simplest example of an integrable system, which is a kind of dynamical system characterized by having very many symmetries. The second part of the talk will be about a geometric technique for solving certain integrable systems.

See you all there!

Allgraduate students are invited. As with all talks in thegraduate student seminar, this talk will be accessible to allgraduate students in math and stats.This seminar was made possible by funding from the McGill Mathematics and Statistics Department and PGSS.
