DESCRIPTION:Mathematical and experimental aspects of gravitational waves di
 scovery.\n\nRecent discovery of gravitational waves at LIGO detectors was 
 a result of long-term efforts by mathematicians and physicists. Mathematic
 ally\, it required a detailed numerical simulation of interaction and coll
 ision of two black holes. Physically\, it required the construction of ult
 ra-sensitive detectors which are able to capture gravitational waves emitt
 ed as a result of collision of two massive black holes. The detection of t
 he gravitational waves provided another compelling confirmation of Einstei
 n's general relativity formulated exactly 100 years before. We discuss som
 e basics of mathematical formalism involved in the study of gravitational 
 waves and give a brief review of the experimental setup used in LIGO detec
 tors.  \n
