Math in Our Lives Series: SIAM Review

How can math affect behavior of liquids in a moving container, explain the distinct color bands of Jupiter's orbital rings, or the sound of musical instruments? These are topics of recent SIAM journal articles, and addressed in our NEW video series: Math in our Lives! We'll be releasing one video each month through July 2019. Watch this video to find out how math can help us learn more about non-linear responses involved in slosh dynamics, dynamical systems theories related to the perpetual storm of Jupiter's "Great Red Spot", and mathematical techniques used to create time frequency portraits of musical sound. Stay tuned for more series videos! Learn more about SIAM Review (SIREV) and watch the video.
