Keenan Crane's Discrete Differential Geometry Course

See the full series of lectures here.  Course notes and other materials at https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/DGPDEC/.

 

This is really excellent and it makes a great complement to Frederic Schuller's Geometrical Anatomy of Theoretical Physics course. There is also a good Bright Side of Mathematics course on Manifolds.

Tensor Fields and Simplicial Complexes

Listening to Freya Holmér last night I started to get glimmers of an idea I had long ago about how to represent vector spaces in computational processes using this recursive abstract type :  abstype 'a point = POINT   of {getx :  'a vector,       diff :  'a point -> 'a point,       move :  'a point -> 'a point,       scale : 'a -> 'a point,       proj :  'a point -> 'a} with    fun new i (op +) (op -) (op * ) dot =    let fun self x =  POINT       {getx = x,        move = fn (POINT pr) =>           (self (x + (#getx pr))),        diff = fn (POINT pr) =>          self (x - (#getx pr)),        scale = fn i =>          (self (x * i)),        proj = fn (POINT pr) =>     ...

I think this is the first time they've actually publicly announced anything about this project.

Global Virtual Four Season School in The Foundations of Mathematics and Physics

This is happening everywhere, all year around, just because of the nature of actual Human Knowledge. Invited speakers: a bunch of people who all know what they're talking about . On light and the nature of photographic process: Silver halide crystals only go off when exposed to light at certain frequencies, so the crystals have to be embedded in a glycerine matrix with layers of dye to make the film respond to visible light.
