Workshop on Contemporary Computational Mathematics

Mathematical Sciences Institute, ANU, Canberra

16-17 July, 2003

The Advanced Computation and Modelling Group is holding an informal workshop on contemporary computational mathematics, to take advantage of the presence of a number of overseas visitors in Australia for ICIAM 2003.

Registration

The workshop is informal, and there is no registration fee. For catering purposes, please send an email to the organisers below and inform them that you will be attending.

We can provide some financial support for attending Ph.D. students.

We plan to have social events such as a gentle bushwalk in the country close to Canberra, and dinner at a local restaurant on the Wednesday evening. The cost of these will be announced later.

Venue and Time

The sessions will be held on the ANU Campus in Room G008 in the Moran Building, Building 26b, near the south end of Kingsley Street. The Mathematical Sciences Institute is in the John Dedman Building, Building 27, nearby.
Here is a campus map.

The Welcome will be at 9.00 am on Wednesday July 16.
Talks will be for 30 minutes, with 10 minutes for questions and discussions between talks.
