“Numerical Simulations and the Evolution of the Universe”

Library 1301, Beirut campus / Video conferencing link is available at Frem 203, Byblos campus

The Department of Computer Science and Mathematics is organizing a lecture entitled “How Numerical Simulations Help to Understand the Evolution of the Universe” conducted by Professor Christian Klingenberg (Professor at the Mathematics Department, Wurzburg University, Germany).

Abstract:

The lecture shall show how to model the evolution of the universe from soon after the big bang until today. This model contains a system of non-linear partial differential evolution equations of hyperbolic type. The speaker will describe a technique to find solutions of such equations numerically. The numerical simulations are the result of solving such models on large super computers. They help us develop a deeper understanding on how for example our solar system came to be.

All are welcome to attend.
