International Intensive Courses

dedicated to Dirac operators, Hypercomplex and Harmonic Analysis

Please pay attention to the following rules for the online courses:

 

  1. • It is highly appreciated if you use your real and complete name when entering the system. 


  1. • Switch your microphone off when the lecture begins. You can switch it back when asking questions or replying. 



(!) un-authorized recording and distribution is illegal and it will be reported to the competent authorities.

Most common time zones (recall, some countries changed already to Standard Time, or Winter Time):

  1. • CET zone (Central European Time)

  2. • CST (China Standard Time)

  3. • EST zone (Eastern Standard Time)

  4. • GMT zone (Greenwich Mean Time)

  5. • PST zone (Pacific Standard Time)




The online series of International Intensive Courses dedicated to Dirac operators, Hypercomplex and Harmonic Analysis are jointly organized by Chapman University, Politecnico di Milano, and University of Aveiro. These sequence of events will take place online and are directed to postgraduate students, young researchers, and all who wishes to expand their knowledge on current topics in these and related areas.


Courses will occur with a trimestral frequency. Interested participants are kindly request to register via the on-line form:
