Careers in Math: Katherine Socha 24 Oct

Katherine demonstrated how we can apply the math knowledge and theorems we have into the real world by making some very general assumptions. 

She showed the example of understanding how wave speed and wave length correlates.

Then she also showed how we can understand the pendulum motion through simple differential equations.

Turns out that we a little bit of differential equations knowledge, you can analysis what region of fluid would move inside the jellyfish's belly and what region of fluid would get pushed away. 

I think what I got from this talk is that there are really a lot of interesting problems we can solve with the math that I am learning right now, applying the math into real life takes some creativity, but once you found the relation and were able to model it you get beautiful result and your understanding of that certain phenomenon is enhanced so much.
