Mathematics of Soap Bubbles

Please register at www. einsteinfoundation.de They light up children’s eyes and continue to fascinate us when grown up: soap bubbles. But hardly anybody who is enjoying the iridescent beauty of a soap bubble is aware that this light entertainment wouldn’t be possible without tough physics. Just like other propagating interfaces such as ocean waves or burning flames, soap bubbles exhibit complex dynamics: Their boundaries can twist in complicated ways, they can break apart or merge together. For more than a hundred years, mathematicians have worked on equations describing these processes. Recently, a new set of mathematical and algorithmic techniques was combined that makes it possible to compute interface motions. Join Einstein Visiting Fellow James Sethian on his fascinating journey through the world of applied mathematics. The renowned mathematician will focus on the scientific and engineering applications of his innovative findings. You will understand what the functioning of an inkjet plotter has in common with a dripping faucet and the early detection of eye diseases. Program 7:00 pm Admission 7:30 pm Welcome 7:45 pm Lecture and discussion 9:00 pm Reception Free Admission. James Sethian James Sethian is Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. He has specialised in the mathematical modelling of moving interfaces and boundaries. His research is applicable to various problems of engineering, including image processing and the manufacturing of computer chips. In May 2013 his groundbreaking work on soap bubbles has been published in “Science”. James Sethian has been Einstein Visiting Fellow at the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) since 2011. Einstein Visiting Fellow The aim of the funding program “Einstein Visiting Fellow” of the Einstein Foundation Berlin is to integrate distinguished foreign scientists into the Berlin research landscape. Meeting Einstein Outstanding academics present their findings to the Berlin public. Next Lectures 26 June 2013 John Hartwig, UC Berkeley “Catalysts: speeding up technological progress” 21 August 2013 David Mooney, Harvard University “Biomaterials – replace or complement pharmaceuticals?” Location: Urania An der Urania 17 10787 Berlin www. urania.de Contact: Christian T.
