\"Mark<\/a><\/p>\n

An explanation of the waves we see in everything from a California beach to medical lasers will be shared Oct. 8 as part of the First Annual Distinguished Math Lecture.<\/p>\n

Mark Ablowitz, professor of applied mathematics, University of Colorado at Boulder, will speak beginning at 12:30 p.m. on the third floor of the Kraemer Family Library in a general interest lecture called \u201cExtraordinary Waves: from Beaches to Lasers.\u201d He will explain the history of solitary waves which were first documented 175 years ago and how mathematics played a role in their development. Now, wave applications range from predicting natural ocean waves to long-distance communication, medical lasers and Bose-Einstein condensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discussion will be general and fun,\u201d Greg Morrow, professor, Mathematics, said. \u201cIt will leave all equations behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ablowitz is considered an applied mathematics pioneer and he is frequently cited in scholarly publications. He is best known for his work in inverse scattering transform, a method used to solve non-linear wave equations. This method is used by mathematicians and physicists to better understand phenomena such as water waves. A member of the CU-Boulder faculty since 1989, Ablowitz was a mentor to several UCCS math faculty members, Morrow said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI encourage students, no matter what their major, to participate,\u201d Morrow said. \u201cProfessor Ablowitz is a renowned mathematician but is also well known for his ability to capture the attention of audiences of varied interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Refreshments will be served beginning at noon. The lecture is free of charge. For more information, contact Morrow, 255-3184 or\u00a0gmorrow@uccs.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
