SUMMARY:Mathematics of Information: the Next Frontier  - Dr Anders Hansen 
 and Professor Arieh Iserles\, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theore
 tical Physics

DESCRIPTION:The first industrial revolution was about harnessing physics\,
  the second industrial revolution\, unfolding in front of our eyes\, is ab
 out information: its collection\, transmission\, compression\, coding\, en
 cryption and decryption and\, in particular\, its understanding. This has 
 profound implications for tomorrow's mathematics\, which are already felt 
 today. This talk will examine emerging themes in mathematical sciences whi
 ch address the challenge of information\, in particular mathematical image
  processing (how to use differential equations and variational problems to
  analyse\, interpret\, manipulate and enhance digital images) and compress
 ed sensing (how to be smart by collecting less data yet analysing them bet
 ter\, taking advantage of their innate sparsity).\n\nDr Hansen\, recently 
 appointed a University Lectureship in the Mathematics of Information. work
 s in the area of computational harmonic analysis with emphasis on sampling
  theory and compressed sensing. He is a Royal Society University Research 
 Fellow and previously held a von Karman Instructorship at Caltech and a Re
 search Fellowship at Homerton. His non-mathematical collaborators include 
 the University of Cambridge Magnetic Resonance Research Centre. Professor 
 Iserles' research interests include aspects of the numerical solution of d
 ifferential equations and other areas of computational mathematics. He is 
 co-Director of the Cambridge Centre for Analysis (a joint initiative of th
 e two Cambridge Mathematics Departments) and was a winner of the 2012 Davi
 d Crighton Medal awarded jointly by the London Mathematical Society and th
 e Institute for Mathematics and its Applications.
