DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/MathMAC/29/"
 >Predicting the future by solving equations</a>\nby Patrick E. Farrell (Un
 iversity of Oxford) as part of Modelling of materials - theory\, model red
 uction and efficient numerical methods (UNCE MathMAC)\n\n\nAbstract\nHuman
 s have sought to predict the future for as long as we have existed. One of
  the key ideas\nof the scientific revolution was that we can predict the f
 uture of physical systems by writing\ndown the laws of physics as differen
 tial equations and solving them. Our capacity to do this\nhas recently inc
 reased dramatically due to better computers\, and better algorithms. This\
 ntechnology has quietly revolutionised industrial civilisation in countles
 s ways\, from\npredicting the weather a week in advance\, to designing spa
 ce planes without wind tunnels\, and\nto understanding the gravitational w
 aves detected by LIGO. In this lecture I will review this\nsubject\, discu
 ss some of my own contributions\, and mention some important open problems
  in\nthe field.\n
