Abstract

In this course we look at the life and work of some of the most influential Mathematicians including David Hilbert, Felix Klein, Emmy Noether and Bernhard Riemann. The aim is twofold. On the one hand, we would like to introduce the historical figures and convey the flavor of how Mathematics were conducted at that time, on the other hand, I would also like to show how (in a possibly modern interpretation) their work continue to be influencial today. Along the way we will also be encountering some specifics of the German culture and in particular the different educational and academic system.


Lecturer Intro

I was born in Wuhan and grew up in the little German town Göttingen, which was home to an extraordinary amount of great Mathematicians (and Nobel prize winners) including all the Mathematicians discussed in the course.   I studied economics at the FU Berlin and Mathematics at TU Berlin from 2003-2007 and obtained my PhD from Eberhard Karls University  Tübingen in 2012.  Thereafter, I stayed in Tübingen as a Postdoc till I got a Juniorprofessorship in 2017 at the Leibniz University in Hannover.

  • Mini Course on Wave Turbulence | Recent progress on mathematical theory of wave turbulence

    AbstractThe theory of wave turbulence is the statistical theory of interacting waves, or the wave analog of Boltzmann's kinetic theory. It started in the works of Peierls in the 1920s, and has had substantial developments in the 20th century, with significant applications in science. The mathematical study of this subject started with the early works of Spohn and Erdös-Yau et al. on linear mode...
