"Surfing with a Mathematician: Nonlinear Waves & Fluids" .

   A show for all mathematicians and anyone who appreciates learning about waves! Imagine playing in the big surf with time honored mathematicians as Pythagoras or Maxwell. CU Mathematics Professor Mark Hoefer will introduce to a young audience to ways of "surfing some waves",  how mathematics describes fluids and how non-linear waves help us understand systems as diverse as the ocean, atmosphere, and lasers.  If you thought corn syrup was just for pancakes, think again!
