DESCRIPTION:\nAbstract. Mathematics plays a fundamental role in helping us understand everyday phenomena. This is often done by writing down an equation that models the phenomenon and analyzing that equation\, rather than experimentally studying the original physical system. But often we cannot actually solve these equations - so why are they useful? For example\, many different types of fluids can be modeled using the Navier-Stokes equation. Moreover\, such fluids tend to exhibit vortices\, or regions where the fluid spins - think of the eye of a hurricane\, or the great red spot in Jupiter’s atmosphere. Why are vortices so ubiquitous? Although we cannot write down an explicit formula for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equation (and in many cases we can’t even prove a unique solution exists!)\, this equation can still be used to explain why we see so many vortices. In this talk\, we will explore how we might understand the behavior of solutions to differential equations\, without actually writing down a formula for the solutions themselves. (No prior knowledge of derivatives required!)\n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/10227
