This week's Mathematical Sciences Department colloquium is given by Dr. Semyon Tsynkov, Professor of the Department of Mathematics, North Carolina State University.

We will discuss the Huygens' principle as it applies to Maxwellian electrodynamics, and show how it can be exploited for the design of numerical methods with particular advantageous properties. Theoretical developments will be corroborated by numerical simulations, including those performed using third party software.

Collaborators: V. Ryaben'kii, V. Turchaninov, S. Petropavlovsky, and Computational Sciences, LLC
