Since these generally do not have nice solutions\, the question becomes "What are solutions like?" Evoluti on equations that are geometric often have rather nice answers to this qu estion. I'll introduce asymptotics with some ordinary differential equati ons and then talk about some purely mathematical geometric evolution equa tions. I'll end by describing the Einstein Field Equations which have the ir roots in general relativity\, and some resolved questions about them\, as well as some open problems.
