Description:
Applied Mathematics is well established as one of the most dynamic and important areas of research. In recent years, huge advances have been achieved through the application of mathematical ideas and techniques to a wide variety of fields such as environmental science, geology, biology, finance and industrial engineering. The International Conference on Applied Mathematics will cover a wide range of topics including all aspects of applied mathematics. Special emphasis will be placed on new applications and applied research.
The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for the exchange of expertise, experience, and insights by mathematical scientists, physicists and young researchers who are active in the area of applied mathematics. The organizing committee will invite world leaders in applied mathematics to deliver plenary lectures, and a number of invited speakers. It is envisaged that this meeting will stimulate further research, and act as a vehicle to promote this important field of mathematics in Hong Kong.
Another key goal of the conference is to encourage leading scientists from abroad to further strengthen their cooperation with local scientists. We believe that this conference will play a key role in the dissemination of research and will strongly contribute to the promotion of the image of Hong Kong as a world centre of excellence in Applied Mathematics.
During the conference, the first William Benter Prize in Applied Mathematics will be awarded and the recipient will be presented with the prize. The aim of the Prize is to recognize outstanding mathematical contributions that have had a direct and fundamental impact on scientific, business, finance, or engineering applications.
