Course Description

Overview

Explore advanced asymptotic methods in mathematics through this lecture on "Standard and less standard asymptotic methods" by Don Zagier from ICTP-MPIM-SISSA. Delve into techniques for evaluating infinite sums numerically and recognizing asymptotic patterns in number sequences. Learn about both standard approaches like the Euler-Maclaurin formula and less conventional methods, illustrated with numerous examples. Tackle challenging problems such as evaluating a slowly convergent sum to 250 decimal places, analyzing the asymptotic behavior of complex series coefficients, and computing highly oscillatory infinite series for large real numbers. Gain insights into powerful mathematical tools for handling complex numerical evaluations and asymptotic analysis across various branches of mathematics.
