Mathematical Methods in Computational Kinematics

Topics

The summer school mainly addresses PhD students and young researchers working in computational kinematics who want to broaden their methodological skills. The summer school will comprise the following topics:

1. Interval analysis (lecturer: Jean-Pierre Merlet)
2. Numerical continuation (lecturer: Charles Wampler)
3. Algebraic geometry in Kinematics (lecturer: Manfred Husty)

Student experience in Matlab and Maple is recommended.

Accommodation

Accommodation will be provided in Kolpinghaus Innsbruck. We have negotiated special prices for 24 Euros per night in a double room and 27 Euros per night in a single room. Both offers include breakfast.

Fees

The fees are 300 Euros. They comprise the summer school materials including Charles Wampler's book on numerical continuation and some social activities (more information to be announced).

Fees have to be paid in cash on site at the beginning of the school.
