Mid Atlantic Numerical Analysis Day 2011

A conference on numerical analysis and scientific computing for graduate students and postdocs from the Mid-Atlantic region.

Friday, 4 November 2011

 

Keynote Speaker

Lisa Fauci,
Pendergraft Nola Lee Haynes Professor of Mathematics,
Tulane University,

Waving rings and swimming in circles: some lessons learned in biofluiddynamics

 

The Conference

This one-day meeting will start at 10 AM to allow same-day travel.
It will be held in Room 617 Wachman Hall, Temple University, 1805 North Broad street, just north of Montgomery Avenue (see directions on right margin).
It will be a opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to present their research, and to meet other researchers.
Contributed talks will be 15 minutes each.

There will be no registration fee. In order to guarantee appropriate space in the lecture rooms, we ask every participant to please register in advance (even if you are not planning to give a talk).
