On the other hand, everybody
is welcome to connect remotely via
zoom, if preferred. Just mail ulisse.stefanelli@univie.ac.at to receive the link.
First organizational meeting on Thursday, 03.03.2021
What
This is the weekly scientific-discussion meeting of the research group
on 'Applied Maths and Modeling', as well as of other members of
the Viennese Calculus of Variations community.
The seminar will offer the opportunity of getting in touch with
classical themes and recent developments in the Calculus of
Variations.
All participants are welcome to contribute by
presenting a topic and by taking part in informal
discussions.
Occasionally, scientific guests will also be invited to
present.
Each student participant will be required to participate to most
weekly meetings and to deliver a presentation (25-35 min.) on a preassigned topic.
The seminar is held in English.
