Computational Nonimaging Geometric Optics: Monge-Ampère
Gerard Awanou
The goal of computational nonimaging geometric optics is the efficient design of optical lenses and mirrors for the accurate control of light. Freeform illumination design, i.e., with no a priori symmetry assumption, often leads to numerically solving a nonlinear second order partial differential equation of Monge-Ampère type with nonlocal boundary conditions.
Exceptional Groups and Their Modular Forms
Aaron Pollack
Automorphic forms are functions that have large groups of discrete symmetries and satisfy particular types of differential equations. This article is about automorphic forms, with a special emphasis on those automorphic forms whose groups of symmetries are connected to the exceptional Lie groups.

Model Theory and Differential Equations
Joel Nagloo
In this article, we give an overview of recent applications of model theory to the study of differential equations. The focus will be on the role of the classification problem for strongly minimal sets and on results in functional transcendence.
