Community Outreach
About every fourth Saturday, high school students from across the
state meet to get down with Mathematics. The Saturday
Morning Math Group was begun by Mathematics Professor Karen
Uhlenbeck and Dan Freed in fall 1993, and is now a popular outreach program
bringing extra-curricular education to students across the
state.

Events Today
2:00p 12.166 Analysis
BETUL ORCAN: Homogenization of the Flame Propagation in Random-Media 2:00 pm in RLM 12.166 Analysis Seminar
Homogenization of the Flame Propagation in Random-Media
BETUL ORCAN (UT-AUSTIN)
We will talk about the homogenization of a reaction-diffusion equation which arises in combustion theory. The methods which are used in periodic-case are not applicable anymore, so we will see another approach in the solution of this problem. (Candidacy Talk)
