Information
Subhas S. Bhusnurmath, professor of mathematics, Karnataka University, on Saturday said that the advent of the computers and computer-generated graphics has given a new impetus to the study of non-linear differential equations.

He was delivering the key-note address at seminar on Foundations and frontiers of differential equations and its applications, sponsored by the University Grants Commission and hosted by the Sharanabasaveshwar College of Science here. Mr. Bhusnurmath said the theory of functional analysis and topology in the study of partial differential equations has become increasingly important in contemporary society.

Stressing the role of mathematics in solving problems, he said the first great step in this regard was taken by Newton who invented calculus and used it to deduce Keplers three laws of planetary motion.

The president of the Sharanabasaveshwar Vidya Vardaka Sangha and the head of the Sharanabasaveshwar Samasthan, Sharanabasavappa Appa, spoke.
