Concrete versus Abstract in Computational and Pure Mathematics
Professor HANS Z. MUNTHE-KAAS (University of Bergen, Norway)
Abstract: In the 20th century the dichotomy between abstract and concrete formulations created a deep dividing gap between pure and applied mathematics. In the 21th century a new unification is emerging. Pure mathematics is transformed by a focus on computable structures and algorithms, and computational mathematics is successfully using abstractions to design qualitatively better algorithms and software. Computational mathematics is becoming a strong unifying force of modern mathematics.

ITB Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Series
Series comments: We aim to bring prominent mathematicians exploring the role of mathematics from various fields, in an intriguing style. The online lectures address quite broad audience, from mathematics students (advanced undergraduate to graduate ones), as well as mathematicians in Indonesia, and our neighboring countries, or even beyond our region. With this lecture series we hope to foster and promote research culture, as well as to highlight the prominent role of mathematics in shaping future society.
