The Mathematics of Moving Contact Lines in Thin LiqFilms
Andrea L. Bertozzi
An ongoing challenge in flflow is to explain the underlying physics of the motion of the edge of a thin liqfilm that is flowing on a solid surface. This article discusses the properties of the fourth-order partial differential equations used to model this motion.
Theory into Profit: Microsoft Invests in Mathematicians
Allyn Jackson
In a surprising coup last year, the Theory Group at Microsoft Research, the company's think tank, hired Fields Medalist Michael Freedman. The group of four mathematicians will grow to triple that number over the next couple of years as it pursues outstanding questions in computer science, including the problem of whether P equals NP.
