Higher Order Problems in Geometric Analysis

University of Bath,   5 – 8 June 2012

EPSRC logo

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in geometric analysis and foster interaction with researchers in neighbouring fields, such as differential geometry, numerical analysis, or applied mathematics. The focus is on problems giving rise to partial differential equations of higher order. The event is supported by the EPSRC.
