Mathematics Seminars for the week of March 8, 2004

Colloquium

Thursday, 3:30, in VinH 16

Professor Mourad Ismail
of University of Central Florida
will speak on
"Orthogonal polynomials in solvable models"

We discuss the role played by orthogonal polynomials in some integrable systems, like the Toda lattice and explore the connections of their discriminants and the tau function
