Colloqium

The study of continuum physics gave birth to the theory of quasilinear
systems in divergence form, commonly called conservation laws. In this
talk, conservation laws, the Euler equations, and the definition of the
corresponding weak solutions will be introduced first. Then a short history
of the studying of conservation laws and shock waves will be given. Finally
I would like to present two of our current research projects.
