Abstract
Scattering theory, in mathematics, is a way of studying complex interactions by focusing on the “before” and “after” states, without worrying too much about the “in-between”, which is usually much harder to understand. I’ll start with simple examples and (aspirationally) work up to some examples of recent research interest.
About the speaker
