A Symposium on Geometric Analysis and Non Linear PDES is coming to Kiama at The Pavilion from 29 January to 2 February 2024.

The conference will bring together leading researchers on geometrical analysis and nonlinear equations and will focus on new developments on several themes in geometric analysis, PDEs and their applications.

This is the third joint Australia-China conference on geometric analysis. Some mathematicians will also be attending from the UK and the USA.

Geometric analysis is a mathematical discipline which, for example, can involve problems involving curves and surfaces, and even multi-dimensional or problems related to calculating possible minimal surfaces.

The attendees will comprise some of the most prominent mathematics researchers in the field.

PDEs are Partial Differential Equations, which basically extend calculus equations using one unknown variable to various derivatives using multiple unknown variables.

The ultimate goal is to solve the ‘unknown’ in the equations and just like in the movies has mathematicians scrawling with chalk on boards and talking very fast.
