Dec 8 The regular Applied Mathematics Colloquium will be canceled in order to avoid scheduling conflicts with the College of Arts and Sciences' Professors of Distinction Recognition Event, consisting of presentations followed by a reception. Of special interest to Applied Mathematics is the session taking place in the Wolf Law School, Room 205, from 4-5 pm, consisting of two consecutive half-hour sessions as follows:
  Thomas Veblen Department of Geography, University of Colorado at Boulder Fire and Vegetation Change in the Patagonian Andes
  Mark Ablowitz Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado at Boulder "Solutions" - What are they all about? What's the fuss?
