Jack Hale graduated
from Berea College in 1949 to become an internationally known
applied mathematician. His publications include eight books
and more than 150 journal articles. On November 17, 2000, we
were treated to a very special event when Dr. Jack Hale presented
the Alumni Lecture on Stability and Instability.
Abstract of His Talk
Intended to be accessible to a sophomore-level audience, Jack Hale's presentation
was intended to introduce the students in the audience to the
study of differential equations. His presentation included a
short motivation for the study of differential equations, the
qualitative approach for scalar equations, and some surprises
in numerical calculation.
