What's an infinite dimensional manifold and how can it be useful in anatomy?
 
 
Description:  There has been a huge explosion in medical imaging, in spatial and temporal resolution, in imaging many processes as well as organs. New mathematical tools have entered the game, which are not so elementary. It's important to have some basic understanding of them, to know how what to expect of them. In particular, infinite-dimensional manifolds of shapes and infinite-dimensional groups of diffeomorphisms with associated Riemannian metrics have been used. This talk is a step-by-step intro to what these tools may be good for.
