Conference Organizers

European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI)
Latvian Mathematical Society
University of Latvia
Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Latvia
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University

Aims

The Conference focuses on various aspects of mathematical modelling and usage of numerical methods in solving modern problems of science and engineering. It aims, in particular, at fostering cooperation among practitioners and theoreticians in this field.

The Basic Topics

  • Analysis of numerical methods for solving problems of mathematical physics;
  • Application of numerical methods to industrial and engineering problems;
  • Analysis and applications of ODE, DE and PDE problems;
  • Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems;
  • Parallel algorithms and parallel computing;
  • Scientific computation;
  • Mathematical modelling and analysis based on fuzzy sets;
  • Mathematical modelling for mathematical statistics;
  • Mathematical theory of finances and mathematics in economics.
The scientific program includes invited plenary talks (40 min) and contributed talks (20 min). We also invite participants to organize mini-symposiums, which will be scheduled in parallel sessions. The format for a mini-symposium might be a principal lecture and a number of communications of 20 minutes given by the other speakers. Working language of Conference is English.
