School on Stochastic Analysis, Financial and Actuarial Mathematics with Applications

题为“随机分析、金融和精算数学及其应用学院”的项目将结合第三届国际数学会议于2013年4月22日至5月3日在喀麦隆西南部布埃亚市的布阿大学举行。学校将于4月22日至4月29日举行会议，而会议将于4月30日至5月3日与学校相吻合。该项目的目标是将来自美国和欧洲的顶尖数学家和杰出的专业人士聚集在一起，他们的专业涉及金融数学、随机分析和精算数学，以进行说明性演讲，并展示具有现实应用价值的新进展。他们将向学生和教职员工提供信息和教育，为数学科学家之间的信息和思想交流提供媒介，促进能够为科学、工业和社会带来新的数学和计算方法和技术的研究，并为来自美国和欧洲的数学家提供媒介，与喀麦隆和非洲的同事一起积极参与数学和数学研究的发展。该学院将为对数学金融和随机分析感兴趣的个人提供一个集中学习新概念、讨论相关问题、形成数学和跨学科网络、提出新问题和解决合作定义问题的机会，并探索将他们的合作扩展到学校和会议之外的可能性。该项目的更广泛的意义和重要性在于：通过将举行的说明性讲座，为全球世界培养下一代数学家；使撒哈拉以南非洲的学生和教育工作者掌握可用于研究和理解这些地区不断增长的经济体的经济挑战的技能；启动中非和撒哈拉以南非洲地区的欧美数学家和数学家之间的研究合作；在非洲建立当地和地区的数学科学家专业网络；以及让美国学生和教职员工接触国际教育和文化体验。学校/会议网站是http://bueaconference.com/buea-summer-school/，它将作为传播专题介绍和其他材料的最初手段，以及课后/会议网络的来源。

The project entitled "School on Stochastic Analysis, Financial and Actuarial Mathematics with Applications, in conjunction with the third International Conference on Mathematics," will be held from April 22nd to May 3rd 2013 at the University of Buea located in the city of Buea in the South West Region of Cameroon. The school will take place from April 22nd to April 29th, while the conference dovetails the school from April 30th to May 3rd. The goals for the project are to bring together leading mathematicians and distinguished professionals from the US and Europe whose specialties involve financial mathematics, stochastic analysis and actuarial mathematics to give expository lectures and present new advances that have real-life applications. They will inform and educate students and faculty members, provide a medium for the exchange of information and ideas among mathematical scientists, promote research that can lead to new mathematical and computational methods and techniques for science, industry, and society, and provide a medium for mathematicians from the US and Europe to actively engage in the development of mathematics and mathematical research with colleagues in Cameroon and Africa in general. The school will provide individuals with interest in mathematical finance and stochastic analysis a focused opportunity to learn new concepts, discuss relevant questions, form mathematical and interdisciplinary networks, initiate new problems and tackle collaboratively defined problems, and explore the possibility of extending their collaboration beyond the school and conference. The broader significance and importance of the project are in the educational training of a future generation of mathematicians for a global world, through the expository lectures to be given; the equipping of students and educators in sub-Saharan Africa with skill sets that can be useful in studying and understanding the economic challenges of the growing economies in these regions; the initiation of research collaborations between US and European mathematicians and mathematicians from the Central and Sub-Saharan African region; the creation of local and regional professional networks of mathematical scientists in Africa; and the exposure of US students and faculty to an international educational and cultural experience.
