The Department of Applied Mathematics along with the student chapter of SIAM
is proud to offer a Pre-Seminar talk with Stephen Smale for interested
Graduate Students.

This talk will be an informal talk leading into the Applied Math Seminar
later that day.  The SIAM pre-talk seminars are open to students only in
order to provide a less intimidating atmosphere to ask questions.

Stephen Smale (born July 15, 1930) is an American mathematician from Flint,
Michigan, and winner of the Fields Medal in 1966.

After making great strides in topology, he turned to the study of dynamical
systems, where he made significant advances as well. His first contribution
is the Smale horseshoe that jumpstarted significant research in dynamical
systems. He also outlined a research program carried out by many others.
Smale is also known for injecting Morse theory into mathematical economics,
as well as recent explorations of various theories of computation.

Smale is currently a professor at the Toyota Technological Institute at
Chicago, a research institute closely affiliated with the University of
Chicago.
