Dave Lloyd is attending the British Applied Mathematics Colloquiuim 2013 held at the University of Leeds, which runs from 9-12 April.  On Wednesday 10 April he gave a talk on “Localised crime hotspots” in the minisymposium on “Nonlinear Dynamics and Pattern Formation in memory of Thomas Wagenknecht”.

 Sara Pasquetti attended a workshop on “Gromov-Witten invariants and Number Theory“, during the week of 1st April.  It was held at the American Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto, California, organized by Albrecht Klemm, Yongbin Ruan and Don Zagier.  The website for the conference is here.

The paper “Global solvability and blow up for the convective Cahn-Hilliard equations with concave potentials“, by A Eden (Bogazici University, Turkey), V.K. Kalantarov (Koc University, Turkey) and Sergey Zelik, has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Mathematical Physics.  The paper studies initial boundary value problems for the unstable convective Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation, i.e., […]

Ian Roulstone’s book has appeared in Books in Brief in the recent issue of Nature.  They wrote: “Mathematicians Ian Roulstone and John Norbury demystify the maths behind meteorology. Trailblazers’ work is vividly evoked, from eighteenth-century mathematician Leonhard Euler on hydrostatics to physicist Vilhelm Bjerknes’s numerical weather prediction. The pace cranks up with twentieth-century advances such as Jule Gregory Charney’s harnessing of […]
