NSF/CBMS Conference: Finite Element Exterior Calculus (FEEC) (June 11-15, 2012)

FEEC is a recent advance in the mathematics of finite element methods that employs differential complexes to construct stable numerical schemes for several important types of application problems. It has aroused great interest because it both presents interesting mathematical problems and shows great potential for application in computational science and engineering. The concentrated sequence of lectures in this program will provide participants with an understanding of the mathematical tools required to fully grasp the concepts in FEEC. ICERM is pleased to host this NSF-CBMS Regional Research Conference.

Douglas Arnold will deliver 10 lectures, one in the morning and one in the afternoon of each day of the workshop.  Richard Falk and Anil Hirani will both give one presentation.

Limited funding is available to support participants.  Applications must be received by March 1, 2012 for full consideration.
