In this talk\, I will introduce this equation and discuss some of of the basic features of one-dimensional wave propagation. We will also discuss some geometric features of three- and higher-dimensional waves\, such as causality and the role of the Loren tz group. No background in differential equations will be assumed.\n\nLunc h will be provided!\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/BC-Math/1/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
