I gave the Undergraduate Faculty Lectures in 2010 in Park City with the help of Tom Asaki who created and led the rather intensive labs that were associated with the event. My lectures consisted of two parts: the 15 lecture series on Image Analysis to undergraduate faculty and 6 lectures to a eclectic audience of undergraduates, graduates and faculty on Geometric Measure Theory. The theme of the Institute that summer was the mathemetics of Image analysis.
Undergraduate Faculty Program Lectures
There were 15 lectures and a bunch of hands on labs using matlab to illustrate the ideas in the lecutures. The participants were all professors themselves and were a very talented bunch, including a fair number who were experts in geometric analysis. It was a lot of fun to give the lectures and interact with this bunch of people.
In this series of 6 lectures, I gave a introduction to geometric measure theory with added emphasis on pieces of Federer 4.5.9 and Federer’s 1959 Curvature Measure paper. Here are the pieces:
