Professor Joan Birman was elected as a new member of the National Academy of Sciences.

“The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that was established under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. It recognizes achievement in science by election to membership, and—with the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine—provides science, engineering, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations.”

The Spring 2020 Samuel Eilenberg Lectures will take place on Tuesdays at 2:40 p.m. in room 520. Professor Tobias Holck Colding (MIT), will deliver a series of lectures titled:

Heat Equations in Analysis, Geometry, and Probability

“In its most basic form, the heat equation is a partial differential equation that describes the evolution of temperature in space over time. This and similar equations play a central role in diverse fields. The goal is to provide an introduction to the heat equation and its generalizations, including connections to geometry and geometric flows, probability, and, of course, analysis.”
