澳大邀美國頂尖數學家談幾何奇點
澳門大學將於11月7日（星期二）舉辦“大學講壇”，加州大學歐文分校卓越教學講席教授理查德．舍恩將以“幾何是一門奇點的學科”為題發表演說，探討當前微分幾何領域當中大部分研究與數學家所稱的奇點。歡迎有興趣人士參加。
理查德．舍恩是世界頂尖的數學家，他的專業領域是微分幾何和廣義相對論的數學理論，是美國國家科學院院士、美國科學促進會會士、美國數學會會士。舍恩在學術界享有崇高地位，屢獲殊榮，如美國數學會波赫獎、古根海姆獎、沃爾夫數學獎等。
舍恩認為微分幾何領域的研究與數學家所稱的奇點有著密不可分的關係，這些奇點涵蓋了最優網路中的角和廣義相對論中的黑洞。講座上，他將解釋奇點的概念，並探討它們在一些具體實例中的形態，這將為廣大聽眾揭示奇點的神秘性質，引領大眾進入微分幾何領域的精彩世界。
講座將於11月7日（星期二）下午4時以英語於澳大工商管理學院演講廳（E22-G013）進行。報名網址：https://isw.um.edu.mo/evm/register/uls_schoen 。查詢請致電8822 9099或電郵至uls@um.edu.mo與黃小姐聯繫。

UM invites US mathematician to give talk on singularities in geometry
As part of the University Lecture Series, the University of Macau (UM) will hold a talk titled ‘Geometry Is a Singular Subject’ on Tuesday 7 November. Richard Schoen, Excellence in Teaching Chair at the University of California at Irvine, will be the speaker. During the talk, he will discuss the close relation between singularities and a great deal of current research in differential geometry, which ranges from corners which arise in optimal networks to black holes in general relativity. He will also explain in a non-technical way what a singularity is and present some examples. All are welcome to join the talk.
The talk will start at 4:00pm in the Lecture Hall of the Faculty of Business Administration (E22-G013) and will be conducted in English. Interested individuals can register at https://isw.um.edu.mo/evm/register/uls_schoen. For enquiries, please call 8822 9099 or email uls@um.edu.mo.
