From MathsDept

An Applied Mathematics One Day Meeting will be held at the University of Auckland on June 9th 2008. This is one in a series of annual meetings of applied mathematicians, with participants being predominantly from the northern parts of NZ, and including staff and students from universities and CRIs.

Registration

We are organising the programme at the moment. If you are interested in attending and have not done so, you should email one_day_meeting@math.auckland.ac.nz to register your interest.

There is no registration fee. Thanks to support from the NZ branch of ANZIAM and from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Auckland, morning and afternoon tea and a light lunch will be provided to participants free of charge.
