Calculus of variations is a foundational tool in physics, geometry and economics.
Our aim is to bring together experienced and young researchers who use this tool to share their work and inspire each other in these disparate fields. This mini-symposium follows the CMS Winter meeting in nearby London, Ontario. Click here for confirmed CMS speakers.
