Dear Colleagues,

The 60th annual meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society will be held by the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University from the 5–8 December 2016. A website for the conference is available at:

http://maths.anu.edu.au/events/austms-meeting-2016

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the special session “Mathematical and Computational Optimisation” and hope that you will agree to present a 20-minutes’ talk.

This special session will focus on new mathematical and computational developments and their applications in continuous and discrete optimisation, as well as in optimal control and calculus of variations.

Our special session’s field aligns with that of the recently created special interest group, Mathematics of Computation and Optimisation (MoCaO) https://mocao.mathsig.org.

Hence, if you are a member of MoCaO, please consider presenting at our special session!

Please do encourage participation of your postdocs and doctoral students at our special session. Student members of AustMS who are giving a conference talk at the meeting may be eligible for a travel costs subsidy. An online form for claiming travel expenses is available at the link

Please let us know your interest by September 1st, 2016.

Best regards, and looking forward to meeting you at our special session

Dear Colleagues,

The 60th annual meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society will be held by the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University from the 5–8 December 2016. A website for the conference is available at:

http://maths.anu.edu.au/events/austms-meeting-2016

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the special session “Computational Mathematics” and hope that you will agree to present a 20-minutes’ talk. The focus of this special session will be on numerical analysis and approximation theory and includes numerical techniques for partial differential equations, inverse problems and regularisation and parallel numerical algorithms.

This year it will be 10 years since the joint minisymposium on computational mathematics and optimisation (Macquarie University 2006) and one year since the establishment of the AustMS special interest group in mathematics of computation and optimisation (MoCaO). Corresponding to the two core focus areas of MoCaO we do have two special sessions as we did since 2007:

* Mathematics of Computation: special session in Computational Mathematics
* Mathematics of Optimisation: special session in Mathematical and Computational Optimisation

We encourage members of MoCaO to participate in these two sessions! AMSI support for student members is available, see
http://research.amsi.org.au/travel-funding/

For more information about MoCaO see
https://mocao.mathsig.org

Best regards, and looking forward to meeting you at our special session
