Mini-school on Nonlinear Equations, December 3-4, 2016

12/03/2016 9:00 am - 12/04/2016 5:00 pm

The Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications will be hosting a Mini-school on Nonlinear Equations on December 3-4, 2016. The conference will have speakers and will be hosted at Harvard CMSA Building: Room G10 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.

The mini-school will consist of lectures by experts in geometry and analysis detailing important developments in the theory of nonlinear equations and their applications from the last 20-30 years.  The mini-school is aimed at graduate students and young researchers working in geometry, analysis, physics and related fields.
