Title:  Predicting the future by solving equations

Abstract

Humans have sought to predict the future for as long as we have existed. One of the key ideas of the scientific revolution was that we can predict the future of physical systems by writing down the laws of physics as differential equations and solving them. Our capacity to do this has recently increased dramatically due to better computers, and better algorithms. This technology has quietly revolutionised industrial civilisation in countless ways, from predicting the weather a week in advance, to designing space planes without wind tunnels, and to understanding the gravitational waves detected by LIGO. In this lecture I will review this subject, discuss some of my own contributions, and mention some important open problems in the field.

Milí kolegové a přátelé matematického modelování,

srdečně Vás zveme na tradiční Vánoční besídku oboru matematického modelování ve velice předvánočním čase – ve středu 18. 12. 2024 v posluchárně K1 (Sokolovská 83) od 19 hodin.

Můžete si zde pochutnat na guláši, drobném občerstvení nebo vínu a svařáku za doprovodu vánočních koled. Rádi bychom pozvali nejen studenty, absolventy a pedagogy spojené s tímto oborem, ale i jejich partnery/ky, přátele a všechny příznivce matematického modelování.

Nezapomeňte si svoje hudební nástroje!
Vánoční cukroví je vítáno!

Prosíme, dejte nám závazně vědět o Vaší účasti (prostřednictvím formuláře do 1.12.), ať můžeme zajistit dostatek občerstvení pro všechny a zbytečně neplýtváme.

Dear colleagues and friends of mathematical modeling,

we cordially invite you to the traditional Christmas party of mathematical modeling on Wednesday, December 18, 2024 in the auditorium K1 (Sokolovská 83) from 19:00. Here you can enjoy goulash, little snack or a mulled wine and sing Christmas carols. We would like to invite not only students, graduates
and teachers associated with this field, but also their partners, friends and all fans of mathematical modeling.

Do not forget your musical instruments!
Homemade Christmas cookies are welcome!

Please make a mandatory application (via form by December 1) so that we can ensure enough refreshments for everyone and not waste unnecessarily.

More informations in this attached document.

The traditional Kácov school will take place in June 2025, see school webpage (https://ems-masc.cuni.cz/) for details. If you want to participate in the school, please register as soon as possible.

SCUDEM — SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling is a 3-student group modeling challenge that runs over multiple days culminating in a strict limit 10 minute video which is reviewed by at least 3 judges, for more details see SCUDEM webpage and the announcement at MathWorks (the company behind Matlab software) webpage. Registration deadline is 19th October 2024. If you are interested in participating, please let us know.

Dear Modelling Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the traditional kickoff of the modelling semester: Vol. 2024/2025. Join us for dinner with students and related academic staff, and start the new semester on the right foot. We look forward to seeing you there!

When: Wednesday, October 9th, from 7:00 PM
Where: Peter’s Pub (https://www.peterspub.cz/)

On behalf of all organisers,
