| In this talk we will review the basic principles underlying TMT, a proposed ground-based optical telescope with a thirty meter primary mirror; see www.tmt.org for background information. We will focus on interesting mathematical problems that arise in the implementation of a multiconjugate adaptive optics system for TMT. These include the estimation of the atmospheric turbulence profile from sensor measurements and the control of deformable mirrors to correct for turbulence aberrations that degrade optical images. | ||||||
