s is a discrete version of geometric analysis. In the digitalized society\
, how we understand phenomena in the physical world via their realization
in the cyber world. Discrete geometric analysis aims to bridge between con
tinuum and discrete\, and to understand the hidden phenomena in discretize
d data. In the lecture I would like to share with you my study to develop
discrete geometric analysis and its application to materials science.\n\nP

DESCRIPTION:Title: Concrete versus Abstract in Computational and Pure Mathematics
\nby Professor HANS Z. MUNTHE-KAAS (University of Bergen\, Norway) as part
of ITB Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Series\n\n\nAbstract\nIn the 20t
h century the dichotomy between abstract and concrete formulations created
a deep dividing gap between pure and applied mathematics. In the 21th cen
tury a new unification is emerging. Pure mathematics is transformed by a f
ocus on computable structures and algorithms\, and computational mathemati
cs is successfully using abstractions to design qualitatively better algor
ithms and software. Computational mathematics is becoming a strong unifyin
g force of modern mathematics.\n\nHans Z. Munthe-Kaas:\nProfessor at the U

DESCRIPTION:Title: Permutation Matrices\, Alternating Sign Matrices\, and Generalizat
ions\nby Professor RICHARD BRUALDI (University of Wisconsin\, USA) as
part of ITB Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Series\n\n\nAbstract\nThe st
udy of permutations is both ancient and modern. One can view them as the i
ntegers 1\,2\, … \, n in some order or as n x n permutation matrices. T
hey can be regarded as data which is to be sorted. The explicit definition
of the determinant uses permutations. An inversion of a permutation occu
rs when a larger integer precedes a smaller integer. Inversions can be use
d to define two partial orders on permutations\, one weaker than the other
. Partial orders have a unique minimal completion to a lattice\, the Dedek
ind-MacNeille completion. Generalizations of permutation matrices determin
e related matrix classes\, for instance\, alternating sign matrices (ASMs)
which arose independently in the mathematics and physics literature. Perm
utations may contain certain patterns\, e.g. three integers in increasing
order\; avoiding such patterns determines certain permutation classes. Sim
ilar restrictions can be placed more generally on (0\,1)-matrices. \n\nThe
re are continuous analogs of permutation matrices and alternating sign mat
rices\, and even higher dimension analogs. We shall explore these and othe
r ideas and their connections.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: The Quantum Computer - A Miracle or Mirage?\nby Professor Gil
Kalai (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) as part of ITB Mathematics Distingu
ished Lecture Series\n\n\nAbstract\nA quantum computer is a new type of co
mputer based on quantum physics. \nWhen it comes to certain computational
objectives\, the computational ability of \nquantum computers is tens\, an
d even hundreds of orders of magnitude \nfaster than that of the familiar
digital computers\, and their construction will enable \nus to factor larg
e integers and to break most of the current cryptosystems. \n\nThe questio
n of whether the quantum computer is\na miracle or a mirage is\, to this d
ay\, one of the fascinating clear-cut\nopen scientific questions of our ti
me. \n\nIn my lecture I will explain the question and the discoveries from
\nthe 1990s that suggested that quantum computers could perform \nmiracle
s. Next\, I will present my theory as to why \nthe quantum computer is a m
irage\, and describe some consequences \nfor noisy quantum systems in a wo
rld devoid of quantum computation.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Ricci Flow and Geometrization\nby Professor Gang Tian (Peking
University\, China) as part of ITB Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Serie
s\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this general talk\, I will give a brief and non-techni
cal tour on role of analysis in studying problems in geometry as well as s
ome other mathematical branches. This can be done through Ricci flow and g
eometrization. Geometrization is to equip manifolds under consideration a
useful metric structure\, such a metric structure is often given by the Ei
nstein equation.\n\nAn effective method of achieving geometrization is to
use Ricci flow introduced in early 80s. Since then\, it has had many appli
cations. The most famous one is Perelman’s solution of the Poincare conj
ecture. In this talk\, I will first start with some basics on metrics and
explain how geometrization determines topology of surfaces. Then I will in
troduce Ricci flow and show some of their properties.\n\nI will discuss ho
w Ricci flow is applied to geometrization of surfaces and its generalizati
on to higher dimensions. One deep application in higher dimensions is to s
olve Thurston’s geometrization conjecture for 3-manifolds\, particularly
\, the Poincare conjecture. The other is the Analytic Minimum Model Progra
m which aims at classifying Kahler manifolds birationally. Some open quest
ions may be presented in the end.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Randomness\nby Professor Avi Wigderson (IAS\, USA) as part of
ITB Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Series\n\n\nAbstract\nIs the univer
se inherently deterministic or probabilistic? Perhaps more importantly - c
an we tell the difference between the two? Humanity has pondered the meani
ng and utility of randomness for millennia. There is a remarkable variety
of ways in which we utilize perfect coin tosses to our advantage: in stati
stics\, cryptography\, game theory\, algorithms\, gambling... Indeed\, ran
domness seems indispensable! \n\nWhich of these applications survive if th
e universe had no randomness in it at all? Which of them survive if only p
oor-quality randomness is available\, e.g. that arises from "unpredictable
" phenomena like the weather or the stock market? \n\nA computational theo
ry of randomness\, developed in the past three decades\, reveals (perhaps
counter-intuitively) that very little is lost in such deterministic or wea
kly random worlds. In the talk I'll explain the main ideas and results of
this theory. \n\nNo special background will be assumed.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Solving Non-Linear Equations System using Spiral Optimization Alg
orithm with Clustering\nby Professor Kuntjoro Adji Sidarto (ITB Indone
sia) as part of ITB Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Series\n\n\nAbstract
\nDeveloped by Tamura and Yasuda in 2010\, Spiral Optimization Algorithm (
SOA) is a metaheuristic method for finding numerical solutions to optimiza
tion problems. We improved the optimization capability of the algorithm by
adding the Clustering scheme\, so it can find local and global optimums.
The method has performed very well in solving many problems\, including re
al-world problems\, finding real and complex roots\, and Diophantine equat
ions.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Free boundary problems for the Navier-Stokes equations\nby Pr
ofessor Senjo Shimizu (Kyoto University\, Japan) as part of ITB Mathematic
s Distinguished Lecture Series\n\n\nAbstract\nThe fluid is governed by the
Navier-Stokes equations\, which are derived from the laws of \nconservati
on of momentum and conservation of mass. \nThe Navier-Stokes equations are
nonlinear partial differential equations \nwhich include the first-order
spatial derivative of the velocity vector\, called the advection term. \n\
nIn this talk\, we will consider free boundary problems are considered \nw
here the boundary of the fluid changes with time\, such as raindrops or oc
ean waves. \nIn particular\, I would like to discuss global in time well-p
osedness of the free boundary problem \nin an unbounded domain in the scal
e-invariant space. \nOur proof is based on maximal $L^1$-regularity of the
corresponding \nStokes problem in the half-space.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Principals’ Leadership Capability for Mathematics in STEM\n
by Professor Kim Beswick (University of New South Wales\, Australia) as pa
rt of ITB Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Series\n\n\nAbstract\nLeadersh
ip Content Knowledge (LCK) comprises school leaders’ knowledge of subjec
t matter and beliefs about how that subject matter is learned. It influenc
es their capacity to enact instructional leadership by guiding teachers an
d providing them with feedback on their teaching performance. A principal
with strong mathematics LCK can support teachers to emphasise such things
as mathematical reasoning and problem-solving and provide advice on how un
derstanding of important mathematical ideas can be developed. Principals
’ LCK also influences their decisions about hiring and resource allocati
on. In this this presentation I consider the nature of school principals
’ LCK for mathematics\, and how it relates to their LCK for other STEM s
ubjects.\n\nKim Beswick is a Professor of Mathematics Education at the Uni
versity of New South Wales\, Sydney\, Australia where she is also Head of
the School of Education and Director of the Gonski Institute for Education
. Her research interests centre on the beliefs\, knowledge\, and professio
nal development of teachers\, including teachers of mathematics. She is pa
rticularly interested in how teachers’ beliefs and knowledge relate to t
heir expectations of and aspirations for their students. She has published
more than 110 peer-reviewed outputs\, attracted over $16M in competitive
research funding including an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fel
lowship\, 2015-2019\, and been a member of the ARC College of Experts. \nK
im was a secondary school mathematics teacher for 13 years prior to joinin
