    Abstract: The field of fluid mechanics models a large range of physical phenomenon, but mathematically, it all comes back to the Euler equation. In this talk, we'll discuss the development of the Euler equation and explore in detail two specific problems within fluid mechanics with connections to very different areas of mathematics.
