DESCRIPTION: \n\nSpeaker: Chris Finlay\n\nTitle: Numerical Schemes for PDEs
 \n\nAbstract:\n\nHow are PDEs actually solved in the wild? In this Pizza S
 eminar\, I will talk about how to coax a computer into giving you a fairly
  accurate representation of the true solution to a degenerate elliptic PDE
 \, by building a numerical scheme to solve the PDE. We'll cover existence 
 and uniqueness of solutions to the numerical scheme. Solutions of the nume
 rical scheme will be 'pretty good'\, in that they won't be too far from th
 e true solution of the PDE. In addition\, I'll discuss why it is important
  for numerical schemes to respect underlying properties of the PDE we're t
 rying to solve. For example\, I'll show that if the PDE has a comparison p
 rinciple\, the numerical scheme should also have a comparison principle.\n
 \nThe aim of this talk is to give a flavour of numerical analysis\, that d
 irty subject in the twilight zone between engineering and analysis.\n
