Wiskunde en golven: de muziek van lucht en water

Whether you’re singing or throwing a pebble into a pond, you create ripples! In this lecture, Julian Köllermeier (UGent) takes you on a journey of discovery through the world of air and water.

Waves are everywhere: in the ocean as tsunamis, in the air as shock waves around rockets. But how can we predict the next tsunami or the flight of a space capsule through the atmosphere of Mars? Mathematics provides the tools to understand waves, simulate them and calculate their effects. We explore the mathematics of waves and how they are calculated.
