Peter Hydon is visiting the University of British Columbia in Vancouver this week for the conference Symmetry Methods, Applications, and Related Fields, which celebrates the work of George Bluman. Peter is on the Scientific Organizing Committee and will be speaking on “Conservation laws: from differential to difference“. Abstract: Conservation laws express fundamental properties that are […]

Gianne Derks visited the Mathematics Department at the University of Twente in the Netherlands on Friday 09 May.  She gave a talk on “Mathematical analysis of human sleep-wake dynamics“, reporting on joint work with Anne Skeldon and Derk-Jan Dijk.  An abstract follows.  Human sleep-wake dynamics is often modelled by multi-oscillator systems. Recent research has shown […]
