Memorial Meeting for Paul Garabedian
Paul Garabedian Memorial Conference
Saturday, December 4th, 2010Warren Weaver Hall (251 Mercer Street), room 109
with a reception to follow in the 13th floor lounge
Paul was one of the outstanding mathematicians of his time. As a pure mathematician, he made fundamental contributions to the theory of partial differential equations and to the theory of functions of a complex variable. As an applied mathematician, his astonishing calculation of shockless airfoils has had a major impact on modern aircraft design, and his studies of plasma stability are central to the problem of designing fusion reactors.
