Join us for a public lecture from Professor and Laureate Fellow Andrew Hassell from the Mathematics Sciences Institute at ANU. Light refreshments will be served beforehand.

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

Andrew Hassell is currently a Professor and ARC Laureate Fellow in the Mathematical Sciences Institute at ANU.
