A
CMA conference:
Trends in Mathematics for Applications
Oslo, June 19-20, 2006
Hosted by:
The Centre of Mathematics for Applications, University of Oslo, Norway
Introduction:
The conference is a follow-up of the 2003 Kick-Off for CMA, in which we presented some key research areas to be attacked from our recently established centre of excellence.
The intentions now are to present recent advances in the key areas of the CMA research plan. We have invited distinguished members of the international research community within these areas. Members of CMA will also give talks, presenting representative parts of CMA's own contributions to achieved advances.
Invited Speakers:
- Matthew Bate, School of Physics, University of Exeter, UK
- Tom Bogdan, High Altitude Observatory, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, USA
- Sandy Davie, University of Edinburgh, Scotland,
- Ivar Ekeland, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
- Hans Föllmer, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Germany
- Sebastian Noelle, RWTH Aachen, Germany
- Helmut Pottmann,
Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry,
Vienna University of Technology, Austria
Local speakers:
- Fred Espen Benth
