DESCRIPTION:In 1960 Rudolph Kalman published what is arguably the first  p
 aper to develop a systematic\, principled approach to the  use of data to 
 improve the predictive capability of&nbsp\; the&nbsp\;mathematical  models
  developed&nbsp\;to understand the world around us. As our  ability to gat
 her data grows at an enormous rate\, the importance  of this work continue
 s to grow too.&nbsp\;The lecture  will describe this paper and development
 s that have stemmed  from it\, revolutionizing fields such space-craft con
 trol\,&nbsp\;weather prediction\, oceanography\, oil recovery\, medical im
 aging and artificial intelligence. Some mathematical details will be also&
 nbsp\;provided\, but limited to&nbsp\;simple concepts such as optimization
  and iteration\; the talk is designed to&nbsp\;be broadly accessible to an
 yone with an interest in quantitative&nbsp\;science.<br>
