The Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications Conference 13-14 July 2000, Cambridge, UK

The conference is held in association with the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences

This landmark international conference, organised by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications in association with the Isaac Newton Institute, to celebrate the new millennium, will span a wide range of major computational science areas, which are already, or will become, increasingly more important over the next decades and beyond. Each will be surveyed by an invited speaker who is a leading figure in one of these areas. The conference will include topics such as astrophysios and cosmology, chemistry and molecular modelling, computer vision and medical imaging, computer systems, engineering sciences, finance and risk, the humanities, physics and condensed matter, quantum computing, weather forecasting and climatology.

The format will be based on a series of lectures by invited speakers, together with refereed poster sessions. The organising committee particularly wish to encourage researchers to submit posters describing their work in these areas.

Lunches will be provided as part of the conference. An evening reception will be held followed by dinner in a college. Residential accommodation has been reserved in adjacent colleges. Hotel accommodation is available but will require early reservation.

Invited speakers and subject areas include:

• •

  Professor J.M. Brady (University of Oxford) Medical imaging and computer vision

  Professor R. Catlow (Royal Institution of Great Britain) Structure and properties of materials

  Professor M. Dempster (Judge Institute, University of Cambridge) Financial mathematics

  Professor P. Embrechts (University of Zurich) Risk management

  Professor C. Frenk (University of Durham) Galaxy and star formation

  Dr R. Horgan (University of Cambridge) Physics and matter

  Professor J.C.R. Hunt (University College London) Meteorology

  Professor S. Popescu (University of Bristol) Quantum computing
