2014 Fields Medal Symposium: Cédric Villani
THE MANY FACETS OF ENTROPY: KINETIC THEORY, OPTIMAL TRANSPORT, GEOMETRY - in honour of Cédric Villani
Overview
This page is a stub. Please visit the full event page here.
The Symposium will be centred on the work of Cédric Villani (Fields Medal 2010), and its current and potential impact.
The Program will focus on the many facets of entropy: kinetic theory, optimal transport, geometry, such as the role played by entropy in physical, geometric, and transport phenomena..
The scientific program is aimed at a wide audience, including graduate students, mathematicians in other research areas, and scientists who use mathematics in an important way. The Symposium will feature a public opening with lectures by Cédric Villani and another renowned mathematician, as well as a special program for high school and undergraduate students. All events will be broadcast live online.
