Formal reaction kinetics and related questions

2024/2025, 1st semester

Our online seminar on Formal Reaction Kinetics and Related Questions will continue using Zoom. You can access the seminar through the following invite link.

KEY DETAILS

Starting Time: The seminar will commence at 17:15 CET. (Daylight Saving Time!)

Duration: Each talk is allocated 50-60 minutes, allowing time for questions from the audience.

Testing the System: If you are scheduled to speak and would like to test the system beforehand, please feel free to contact János: jtoth at math dot bme dot hu. If you haven't already done so, please send us the title and abstract of your talk.

Recording: In all the cases when the speaker is not against it we shall record the talk and put it onto youtube.

Our seminar aims not only to disseminate new research findings but also to foster a collaborative learning environment, which includes engaging with students and occasional participants with varying levels of preliminary knowledge. We would like to encourage you to propose/offer topics, and speakers, including yourselves.

The organizers: Gábor (Szederkényi), János (Tóth), Balázs (Boros)

The list of more or less confirmed speakers for the next semester is as follows, with the schedule being continuously updated:

  • Clifford Ambrose Truesdell IIIMathematical Reviews 12 p. 561: This paper gives wrong solutions to trivial problems. The basic error, however, is not new.
  • E. Hemingway: He always thought of the sea as la mar which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her. Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her but they are always said as though she were a woman. Some of the younger fishermen those who used buoys as floats for their lines and had motor-boats, bought when the shark-lovers had brought much money, spoke of her as el mar which is masculine. They spoke of her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy. But the old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild and wicked things it was because she could not help them. The moon affects her it does a woman, he thought.
