  Appl Math: Luis Amaral on "Science Is an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet and I Am Not Dieting"

  McCormick-Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM)

  11:15 AM M416, Technological Institute

  EVENT DETAILS

  Title: Science Is an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet and I Am Not Dieting

  Speaker: Luis Amaral, Northwestern University

  Abstract: In the old days, mathematicians were alchemists, astronomers, astrologers, chemists, demographers, philosophers, surveyors, and so many other things. Even as recently as 1944, Schrödinger could write about “how can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?" In modern times, it seems that if you do not stick with your discipline's scope then you are at risk of being dismissed as an interloper or a hack. But beauty can be found in many different areas of knowledge and rigor can be used to address phenomena from areas lacking rigorous abstractions. I will indulge in describing some examples from my lab’s recent research.
