Maxwell Symposia on Computational Mathematics
This symposium provides a forum for
the exchange of ideas by bringing together
researchers from Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt interested
in computational mathematics and its applications.
Our meetings consist of an
hour guest lecture delivered by an invited plenary speaker,
followed by a number of short presentations by local
staff members and PhD students. The second part of the symposium
focuses on current research and open problems, and it
is aimed at stimulating discussion.
