CIMPA-IMAMIS Philippines School

I am a participant in the CIMPA-IMAMIS Philippines School on 'Numerical Methods For Partial Differential Equations'. The school (which consists of a series of lectures by experts from France and Austria) is held on August 27 - September 7, 2007. It is being hosted by the Mathematics Department of Ateneo de Manila University.

The School's homepage URL is http://www.math.admu.edu.ph/cimpa/index.html .

CIMPA (International Centre for Pure and Applied Mathematics) is a non-profit international organization established in Nice (France) in 1978. Its aim is to promote international cooperation in higher education and research in mathematics and related subjects, particularly computer science, for the benefit of developing countries.

IMAMIS is the acronym for International Master in Applied Mathematics and Information Sciences.

Below is an excerpt from the website:

"The School will focus on two areas:

• Advance numerical techniques for Partial Differential Equations.
• Applications to some classes of PDE, namely to fluid mechanics and mathematical finance.

This school is intended for graduate students, young researchers, teachers and practitioners who are working on applied mathematics, numerical methods and mathematical finance. A basic background in Partial Differential Equations is a pre-requisite for this School.

This CIMPA School can be considered as part of efforts in South-East Asia to bring together the researchers, educators and practitioners in this area. We hope that the School will strengthen collaboration between Southeast Asian and European mathematicians.This school belongs to the series of schools organized/supported by CIMPA in developing countries. This CIMPA School is also part of the Asia Link program IMAMIS (International Master in Applied Mathematics and Information Sciences) that has been suggested by CIMPA in 2002. This project, that has been worked out mostly by the Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis (UNSA) and the University of the Philippines (UP), is a training programme for higher education scholars, and devoted to the creation of 15 new courses in Applied Mathematics and Information Science. The main sponsors of this school are IMAMIS, CIMPA, IMU, and ICTP. "
