Title: Can You Hear the Shape of a Drum? (Complete Version) [Reel 1 of 2; Composite], Can You Hear the Shape of a Drum? (Complete Version) [Reel 1 of 2; Composite]
Identifier: e_math_01271
Contributor: Kac, Mark
Dates: 1966
Resource: Mathematical Association of America records
Description: Mark Kac lectures on the degree to which the shape of a vibrating membrane is determined by its eigenvalues, or normal modes of vibration. This version includes the Weiner integral, and more. Knowledge of the phenomena of Brownian motion and diffusion will be helpful to the viewer.
