Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM): Spring 2007

新泽西理工学院数学科学系和应用数学与统计中心将于2007年5月14日至16日组织和主办一次关于应用数学和计算数学前沿的重要会议。这次会议是一系列会议中的第四次，它将首次包括一个致力于本科生研究的重要组成部分(5月14日的本科生研究日)。前两次会议(2004年和2005年)聚集了400多名应用数学家，他们工作在数学生物学、流体力学、非线性波动、高性能科学计算和应用统计学的前沿领域。第三届会议(2006年)聚焦于数学流体动力学及其在工程和生物学中的应用，汇聚了来自世界各地的100多位数学家，交流并展示了各自领域的最新进展。2007年应用和计算数学前沿会议的主要主题将是数学生物学和健康科学中复杂现实世界问题的数学建模，其重要组成部分包括流体数学、线性和非线性波、高性能科学计算和应用统计学。受影响的技术领域包括光纤通信系统、海浪动力学和管道中的流体流动。这次会议将汇集来自美国和海外的著名数学家和科学家，在他们向大量观众展示他们的最新研究成果时进行互动，观众中还包括大量本科生和研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师。大会议程将有4位全体演讲人和48位小型研讨会演讲人。

The Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the New Jersey Institute of Technology will be organizing and hosting a major conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics, May 14-16, 2007. This conference is the fourth in a series of conferences and for the first time it will include a significant component devoted to undergraduate student research (Undergraduate Research Day, May 14). The first two conferences (2004, 2005) brought together more than 400 applied mathematicians working at the frontiers of mathematical biology, fluid mechanics, nonlinear waves, high-performance scientific computing, and applied statistics. The third conference (2006) focused on mathematical fluid dynamics and its applications in engineering and biology, and brought together more than 100 mathematicians from around the world to interact and present the latest advances in their respective fields.The key theme of the 2007 Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics conference will be the mathematical modeling of difficult real-world problems in mathematical biology and the health sciences with a significant component comprising of the mathematics of fluids, linear and nonlinear waves, high-performance scientific computing, and applied statistics. Among the impacted technological areas are fiber-optic communication systems, ocean-wave dynamics, and fluid flow in pipes. The conference will bring together renowned mathematicians and scientists from the US and abroad to interact as they present their latest research results to a large audience that also contains significant numbers of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. The program of the conference will have 4 plenary speakers and 48 minisymposium speakers.
