| Why does a spinning coin come to such a sudden stop? Why does a spinning hard-boiled egg stand up on its end? And why does the rattleback rotate happily in one direction but not in the other? The key mathematical aspects of these familiar dynamical phenomena, which admit simple table-top demonstration, will be revealed. | |||

| Rapidly oscillating problems, whether differential equations or integrals, ubiquitous in applications, are allegedly difficult to compute. In this talk we will endeavour to persuade the audience that this is false: high oscillation, properly understood, is good for computation! We describe methods for differential equations, based on Magnus and Neumann expansions of modified systems, whose efficacy improves in the presence of high oscillation. Likewise, we analyse generalised Filon quadrature methods, showing that also their error sharply decreases as the oscillation becomes more rapid. | |||
