A working group seminar and brown bag lunch devoted to nonlinear dynamics and the calculus of variations meeting once a week for three hours at the Fields Institute. The focus will be on working through some key papers from the current literature with graduate students and postdocs, particularly related to optimal transportation and nonlinear waves, and to provide a forum for presenting research in progress.

The format will consist of two presentations by different speakers, separated by a brown bag lunch.

Interested persons are welcome to attend either or both talks and to propose talks to the organizers Robert McCann and James Colliander.
