Month: September 2020

“Mathematics with Industry Day” (MiMM Day 2020) will take place for the 4th time in a row in Karlstad (Sweden) on Dec. 15, 2020. We are asking potentially interested companies to send in their problem suggestions (asap, before Nov. 1st, 2020).

Groups of applied mathematicians (“young and old”) are going to deal with selected industrial questions during 1 day.

Results are reported at the end of the day. For more details on the concept of MiMM Day, see https://lnkd.in/eHXXd8V. #MiMMDay

 I have discovered these days that H. Nyquist, whose name I have recognised in connection with Nyquist-Shannon theorem and with stability questions for differential equations, was born in Nilby, close by Karlstad.  I would really love to find out more on him and his life prior the emigration to US as well as afterwards. Have you some hints join this and related matters?

Yesterday, I gave  my 1st lecture of the “homogenization course”  via zoom. I am happy to say that I never had a more international audience! To be precise, I had 8 people online from 7 different countries! I think I would have never succeeded to have such audience in the more classical face-to-face teaching.

 

Correction: Japanese participants from Kanazawa University, Japan, have joined our international pool of graduate students!!! Welcome Kazunori, Masato, ….
