Christopher Renner
The Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar series features Christopher Renner discussing “Numerical Methods for Solving Integral Equations” on Thursday, Feb. 7, from 5:15 to 6:10 p.m. in Morton 322.
Renner is a graduate student in Mathematics at Ohio University.
Abstract: Integral equations arise in many applications in engineering, physics, and computer science. Most integral equations cannot be solved analytically, so the solution must be approximated using numerical methods. An introduction to the types of integral equations as well as multiple numerical techniques will be given. Numerical methods are derived from all subjects in math; linear algebra, Fourier analysis, topology, and statistics to name a few. One method is not optimal for all types of integral equations. New methods are being developed and compared to existing techniques for specific integral equations in order to improve their use in applications.
Talks in this seminar series are designed to be accessible to undergraduate mathematics majors, but all are welcome to attend. See more about this seminar series.
