International Workshop on Computational Mathematics & Related Topics, July 29-30, 2002, Islamabad - Pakistan

Department of Mathematical Sciences, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Sir Syed Campus, Attaturk Ave., Islamabad, Pakistan

COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT), founded in 1998, underscores its commitment to the centrality of teaching, learning and scholarship, of value-based education grounded in our tradition, of lifelong learning and of educating the community in information technology and sciences.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is a component of the CIIT providing teaching support for all the areas in mathematical sciences of the Institute. Located in the heart of Islamabad, the Department is going to start PhD program in Computational Mathematics.

There is a growing interest in Computational Mathematics allover the world, and a parallel growth in the use of mathematical and computer modeling to help solve both industrial and societal problems. To this end the Department of Mathematical Sciences has chalked out a program for a workshop on computational mathematics. A key goal of this workshop is to bring together practicing applied and computational mathematicians to exchange the latest research information and to promote outreach computational and applied mathematics networks in Pakistan. A common experience proves that computational methods originally developed in basic / applied sciences can be of considerable importance to other sciences as well as to engineering and information technology. This beneficial practice of cross-fertilization will be continuously and systematically endorsed by the workshop.

The workshop on Computational Mathematics aims to facilitate discussions between faculty, students and mathematicians working in this field. The workshop will provide opportunity for cooperation with academia by bringing together people from a variety of very active areas within Computational Mathematics. Talks will be given by a broad range of researchers and will present new developments in both theory and applications of Computational Mathematics. The workshop also aims at attracting new researchers to this exciting and fast growing area.

Participation

The Participants will be provided free accommodation. However, the travel expanses will be born by the participants / their institution.

Participation from academics and IT industry are welcome, and students are encouraged to attend, This workshop should be of particular interest to:

  • Those considering starting an computational mathematics program, or interested in curriculum issues related to Computational Mathematics needs.
  • Faculty or students wishing to learn about computational techniques.
  • People interested in developing or participating in Computational programs or other collaborative ventures.

Typically, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:

  • Complexity Theory
  • Computer Algebra and Computational Group Theory
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • Optimization
  • Scientific Computing & Numerical Analysis
  • Ring Theory and related topics

Format of Workshop

The workshop will consist of invited talks and approximately 13 contributed talks. The talks will be designed for an audience of non-specialists, in particular, for students and researchers wishing to learn about the area. The talks will be designed to discuss current developments in the field.
