Electrical Energy Systems are on the edge of a significant revolution in their operation and planning. Great interest is being directed towards increased integration of renewable or "clean" energy sources such as wind- and solar-based generation, and...

There is a long-standing assumption that more effective mathematics teaching is linked to taking more courses in mathematics. Unfortunately, despite extensive efforts, there is virtually no proof to support this suspicion. That dearth of evidence has...

At the turn of the new millennium the Clay Institute in Boston had a small group of eminent mathematicians propose what they thought would be the seven most important mathematical questions for the 21st century. The prize for solving any of these...

A common problem in seismic interpretation is the search for discontinuities such as faults. The usual approach to identifying these features is the coherency method (Bahorich and Farmer, 1995). The phase congruency algorithm detects corners and...

Mathematical and computational models are becoming more prominent in biological and bioinformatics research. However, the designing, programming, testing and even utilization of computer models has not yet found the acceptance it deserves within the...

Randomness pervades the biochemical processes that make up life at the cellular level; variations in the dynamic behaviour of cellular processes have been observed even if cells are genetically identical and located in identical environments...

The workshop will consist of several minicourses addressing a broad range of theoretical and practical issues arising in seismic imaging including the use of curvelets and other frames in seismic imaging, compressed sensing applied to seismic imaging...

The use -- and misuse -- of financial derivatives has a long history, and the current crisis is not the only one in which they have been implicated. In this talk I'll tell some of these stories, and give an introduction to the mathematical ideas that...

This two week intensive learning experience is designed to give graduate students in the Mathematical Sciences an opportunity to learn industrial mathematical modelling techniques under the guidance of renowned industrial researchers. Graduate...
