The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research has organized an International Colloquium on 'K-theory' in January 2016.
The topic chosen for the Colloquium covered a wide spectrum of mathematics, ranging over algebraic geometry, topology, algebraic K-theory and number theory. These inter-connected topics are amongst the major research interests of several members of the School of Mathematics.
The 9th International Conference on Science and Mathematics Education in Developing Countries (ICSMEDC 2016), was held on 04-06 November 2016, at the University of Mandalay, Mandalay, Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Organized jointly by the Myanmar Mathematical Society and the Southeast Asian Mathematical Society (SEAMS), ICSMEDC 2016 is the 9th of a series of conferences aimed at promoting mathematics and mathematics education in the Southeast Asian region, with particular focus on Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos.
Jointly organized with AIMS-Senegal and the Senegalese Women in Mathematics Association (SWMA) created in 2015, the forum focused on Financial and Actuarial Mathematics. It highlighted advanced and new scientific works on Financial and Actuarial Mathematics.
This conference was devoted to the memory of Academician Mileva Prvanovic, who was one of the founders of (Yugoslav) Geometrical Seminars(which were established 45-50 years ago), and who passed away in February of 2016.
In the work of the conference, eminent participants from 27 different countries from 4 continents were presented (mainly) new and original works on the following topics: Differential and Discrete Geometry and their Applications, Topology, Lie Theory, Mathematical Physics, Integrable Systems, Visualization and related topics and Applications.
The CIMPA-ICTP research school “Lattices and applications to cryptography and coding theory" was organized by Saigon University (SGU) and University of Science (HCMUS, VNU-HCMC) at Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. It was held at Saigon University during August 01 – 12,2016.
The aim of the conference was to bring together leading mathematicians and young researchers (graduate students), to discuss modern advances in the vast diversity of topics professor Borisenko contributed to. The primary goal of the event was to boost through the broad list of participants the development of geometry in Kharkiv region, Ukraine and some neighboring countries (Belarus, Poland, Serbia, Russia). As the secondary goal, the conference served as a platform that will gather together several generations of mathematicians for an intense scientific exchange and collaboration.
GeToPhyMa is a series of summer schools organized since 2011 by the research group Moroccan Area of Algebraic Topology (MAAT : http ://algtop.net). The school is essentially intended for students and young researchers in geometry, topology and mathematical physics. Researchers in other fields can take advantage of introductory courses and are cordially invited to join the school.
The SEAMS School “Topics in Stochastic Analysis” is organized by Sanata Dharma University (USD) at Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It was held at Kampus III USD in Paingan, Yogyakarta from August 3 to August 11 of 2016. The school started on August 3. The opening ceremony took place on the main building of Kampus III USD including speeches given by the rector of Sanata Dharma University (Johanes Eka Priyatma, Ph.D) and the representative of the lecturers of the school (Prof. Ludwig Streit).
The International Conference of Applications of Mathematics to Non-linear Sciences (AMNS-2016) was successfully held in Kathmandu, Nepal from May 26 to 29 of 2016. In addition, a Mathematical Biology Workshop was organized on the first day of the conference. The conference drew more than 200 participants from 17 countries around the world. Among these participants, 87 of them also attended the Mathematical Biology Workshop.
The IMU has been very sensitive to the needs of mathematicians working in developing and economically disadvantaged countries. In order to consolidate the efforts of the IMU to help such mathematicians through its various agencies, it established the CDC in 2011, which is responsible for all IMU initiatives to help mathematicians from developing countries.
