This semester our talks will be on Fridays at 3:30PM in MSB 109A. The first talk is next Friday by Prof. Wally Madych. Title: Tomography and degree of approximation Abstract: The question of how well a phantom (function) can be approximated in terms of n parallel beam Radon Transform projections (radiographs) will be addressed. Some background will be provided in the beginning and several questions will be raised at the end An up to date list of talks for this semester can be found on: http://www.math.uconn.edu/research/analysis-and-probability-seminar/?
