Validated Numerics

10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Room: Sidney Smith 1073

Validated Numerics encompasses such complementary techniques as symbolic computation, interval analysis, and rigorous proofs. The techniques are especially attractive in critical applications where accuracy is in doubt or model parameters are imprecisely known. This session is intended to provide an introduction to validated numerics and their applications, especially to differential and algebraic systems, non-linear systems, and global optimization. Each of these topics will then be explored further in other sessions later in the program.
