Course Name: Variational Calculus and its applications in Control Theory and Nanomechanics

Course abstract

This course is designed as an introduction to the theory and applications of Variational Calculus to problems in geometry, differential equations and physics, particularly mechanics. This course assumes very limited knowledge of vector calculus, ordinary differential equations and basic mechanics. Many new applications in applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering are included. This course will serve as a reference for advanced study and research in this subject as well as for its applications in the fields of industrial control systems and instrumentation engineering, nanoscience and software development.

Prof. Sarthok Sircar

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Indraprastha Institute for Information Technology, Delhi. My prior academic appointments include (a) Lectureship in the Division of Mathematical Sciences, University of Adelaide, Australia, (b) Research Associate in Division of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado, Boulder, (c) Research Fellow in Biomathematics in the University of Utah, (d) Visiting Scholar in the Center for Nanophase Material Science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and (e) Research Scientist in Corning Inc. at Ithaca, NY. My main mathematical interests are in the development and analysis of nonlinear hyperbolic and elliptic partial differential equations, with applications which lie at the interface of applied mathematics and biology. I am particularly interested in solving problems involving soft matter and fluid flow using asymptotic and perturbation methods, numerical approximation and statistical mechanics.
