SUMMARY:Math Colloquium -- Finite element methods for problems in electromagnetics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Casey Cavanaugh\, Colby College \nMany problems in physics and engineering are governed by laws involving partial differential equations. In application\, it is extremely difficult or impossible to generate analytical solutions\, making the design and analysis of numerical methods essential. Numerical methods give approximate solutions and there are many questions to consider when thinking about what a “good” method is and what it means to be a “good” numerical solution. Are the theoretical properties of the continuous problem preserved on the discrete level? Does the numerical solution satisfy the underlying physical laws? Does the method converge\, and if so\, how quickly? In this talk\, we will focus on PDEs arising from applications in electromagnetics problems (Maxwell’s equations)\, and explore some answers to these questions using mixed finite element methods. \nRefreshments at 3:00\, Talk 3:15-4:15pm

SUMMARY:Expedition Reef
DESCRIPTION:Explore the secrets of the “rainforests of the sea” and embark on an oceanic safari to the world’s most vibrant and endangered marine ecosystems – coral reefs.  Discover how corals grow\, feed\, reproduce\, and support over 25% of all marine life on Earth — while facing unprecedented threats from climate change\, habitat destruction\, and overfishing.  Although they line about a third of tropical coastlines\, reefs comprise less than one percent of the world’s ocean environments\, showing how precious and fragile these systems are.  Thousands of tropical fish and colorful corals thrive in one of the largest and deepest indoor displays of living corals.  Narrated by Tony Award® winner Lea Salonga\, Expedition Reef will immerse audiences in an undersea adventure. This fulldome planetarium show provides an up-close look at a part of our planet many people have never experienced. \nWatch the trailer here. \n  \n\nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for 91±¬ÁĎ Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 for children under 12. Click here to view our calendar. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.
