Tomorrow's Mathematicians Today an Undergraduate Mathematics Conference in London supported by the IMA
6 February 2010
University of Greenwich

The University of Greenwich Department of Mathematical Sciences, in conjunction with The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), is very pleased to announce the inaugural Undergraduate Mathematics Conference in London which will be held on Saturday 6th February 2010. The keynote speaker will be Professor Ian Stewart, who earlier this year was the first recipient of the Christopher Zeeman Medal, awarded jointly by the LMS and the IMA for his work on promoting mathematics.

This will be a fascinating day which will give participants the opportunity to learn about a wide range of mathematics which has excited their peers. The aim of the conference is to enable final year (and other) undergraduates to give presentations on mathematical topics of their choice.

Mathematics students will benefit enormously from this in a number of ways. Those going into research will gain experience of the process of conference submission, while those going into the workplace will gain valuable experience to enhance their CVs and career prospects. All delegates will gain insights into a wide range of mathematics of potential value in their future careers. It should be a wonderfully enjoyable day of inspiring mathematics.

We hope that the conference will also attract employers, presenting a useful opportunity for participants to gain information about career possibilities.

Abstracts of proposed presentations should be submitted to tmt@gre.ac.uk by 18 December 2009. Authors will be informed of the outcome by the beginning of January 2010.

In order to encourage students to attend it is important that this conference be free to students so we would ask that Universities make a financial contribution of £10/person up to a maximum of £100 to help us cover our costs.

Please see the call for papers for further information.

First International Workshop on Differential and Integral Equations with Applications in Biology and Medicine
7-10 September, 2010
Aegean University, Karlovassi, Samos island, Greece

The objective of the DIEBM2010 Workshop is to bring together established scientists and postgraduate students working on aspects of Mathematical Biology, Numerical Analysis and Computing, Biology and Medicine where Differential and Integral equations apply and to report on current research and future developments; the aim and hope is that the meeting will allow easier communication of cross-disciplinary ideas and will result in acceleration of new collaborations of Applied Mathematicians and Numerical and Computer Analysts with scientists in these two subjects (Biology and Medicine) which more and more rely on modelling and computing for further progress. A half day short course on Integral Equations will complement the works of the Workshop.

Organising Committee: George Flessas and Antonios Tsokaros (Aegean University), Athena Makroglou and Keith Firman (Maths /Biology, University of Portsmouth), Alistair Fitt (Maths, University of Southampton) and Yang Kuang (Maths and Stats, Arizona State University).
