Francois Gay-Balmaz is visiting the department for a week (Wednesday 25 January to Tuesday 31 January), for research interaction. His host is Cesare Tronci. During his visit he is working with Cesare on fluid dynamics relative to a Nambu bracket. He is also interacting with Werner Bauer on a problem in geometric numerical integration. The […]

Ian Roulstone is in Cambridge this week (24-25 January) to participate in a Isaac Newton Gateway Programme on Communicating Mathematics to the General Public. The workshop, which is face-to-face, aims to bring together not only mathematical and statistical communicators, but also representatives from the media and government. Key themes are (a) mediating processes, (b) sharing […]
