In this talk, I will describe the life of a researcher working in the games industry. Along the way, I’ll introduce some of the research we do at CD PROJEKT RED and the kinds of technical challenges we deal with. I’ll also talk about how I found...

Abstract: The tangent bundle on a smooth manifold is, in a sense, sufficient structure todevelop Lagrangian mechanics. In a famous note from 1901, Poincare reformulated Lagrangian mechanics by replacing the tangent bundle with a Lie algebra acting on...

In this talk we introduce Microlinear Lawvere theories, and show that differential objects in cartesian tangent categories are an example. One of the more striking applications of this theory is that every tangent category embeds into the Eilenberg...
