July 9-12, 2015
Joint Bluenose Applied and Computational Mathematics Days Workshop /
IFIP Working Group 2.5 on Numerical Software Workshop

St. Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia

Organizers: Paul Muir, Wayne Enright, Richard Karsten, and Morven Gentleman.

 

Workshop

The 2015 Bluenose Applied and Computational Math Days Workshop will be held at Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, July 11-12. This workshop is being held in association with the 2015 International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 2.5 on Numerical Software meeting (which will be held on the Saint Mary’s University campus, July 9-10, 2015). The workshop is positioned to take place on the first weekend after the start of the 2015 AARMS-PIMS Summer School Program on Differential Equations and Numerical Analysis, to be held at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 6-31.

The workshop will be held over two days in order to expand the usual regional participation to include participants from the IFIP Working Group on Numerical Software and participants from the AARMS-PIMS Summer School, as well as participants from outside the region. The primary form of participation in the workshop will be through presentations, but, in order to allow active participation by as many students as possible there will also be a poster session, giving students a featured forum in which to present their research.

 

 


St. Mary's University, Halifax

The themes for the workshop include “Software and Tools for Reliable Mathematical Modelling in Scientific Computing”, “Waves and Patterns in Nonlinear Systems”, “Reaction-Diffusion Systems”, “Structure Preserving Discretization of Differential Equations”, and “Numerical Analysis of Singularly Perturbed ODEs and PDES”, but talks and posters in other areas of applied and computational mathematics and scientific computing are welcome.

The IFIP Working Group 2.5 meeting and the Bluenose workshop are being organized by Paul Muir (muir@smu.ca), Saint Mary’s University, Wayne Enright (enright@cs.toronto.edu), University of Toronto, Richard Karsten (richard.karsten@acadiau.ca), Acadia University, and Morven Gentleman (Dalhousie University), and are supported by the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS), the Fields Institute, and Saint Mary’s University.
