I'm happy to announce "Introduction to Integrability", a series of 5 online lectures covering the basics of my research area, Integrable Systems.

The first lecture is on Thursday 22 October 3:30pm (BST).

You can register here:

The series is funded by the London Mathematical Society. It's also supported by ICMS as part of the ICMS Online Mathematical Sciences Seminars.

The series is targeted at postgraduate students, but everyone interested in learning about integrable systems is welcome.

A basic understanding of classical and quantum mechanics will be assumed.

By the way, can you guess what the image above captures?

We will be studying the notion of integrability from various viewpoints. Classical and quantum, continuous and discrete.

See the programme of the series below...

Balanced by dispersion
Oh, solitary splendor”
