The fourth-annual Kliakhandler Public Lecture is at 5 p.m. Thursday in the Dow Environmental Sciences and Engineering Building, room 641, on the campus of Michigan Tech.
This year’s lecturer is Nick Trefethen, professor of numerical analysis at Oxford University.
The title of his lecture is “The Mathematics of the Faraday Cage.”
Trefethen has received numerous honors for his research in numerical analysis including Fellow of the Royal Society, Member of the National Academy of Engineering, Gold Medal from the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (UK) and the Naylor Prize from the London Mathematical Society.
His previous lecture at Michigan Tech holds the distinction of being perhaps the only “standing-room-only” mathematics lecture ever given at the University.
