This week:

• May 13, 2008 at 12:00, in Gilkey 115: (Topology Seminar) Jeremiah Heller, Homotopy theory and Algebraic Geometry

• May 15, 2008 at 14:00, in Kidder 364: Probability Seminar

• May 16, 2008 at 12:00, in Gilkey 113: (Applied Mathematics and Computation Seminar) John W. Lee, Continuation Methods

  A gentle introduction to continuation methods for solving problems when it may be difficult to know where to start -- rough translation finding good initial guesses when such are not obvious. Examples drawn from algebraic equations or systems of such equations and boundary value problems for ODEs.
