Thanks to the generosity of the German government, the 2013 Center of Excellence for Applications of Mathematics grant has enabled Professor Muharem Avdispaic and myself to organize a summer school titled Applications of Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control to Space Rendezvous. The summer school will take place this June, in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. For more information on this project, please consult the first draft table of contents for the workbook which will be handed out to participants.
Because I am a naïve and optimistic dreamer, I hope to make progress on the writing of a book about variation calculus and optimal control. The book will comprise of a few chapters relating to smooth and a few chapters relating to nonsmooth aspects. I am also hoping that many if not all problems will have calculations and figures made with Mathematica®.
