The 8th Summer School in Mathematical Finance is being held at AIMS from 19 to 21 February 2015. This workshop presents a unique opportunity for local practitioners, academics and students to interact with international leaders in research on topics and modelling techniques current in the South African and international financial markets. Intended audience Practitioners, academics, PhD (and
This conference will be hosted at AIMS South Africa and the goal of this conference is to give a broad perspective of areas of modern number theory and to highlight some recent advances. This conference is one of the biennial Number Theory meetings which has been held at Stellenbosch University since 1997. (Recent conferences). It is planned
The Mathematics in Industry Study Group in South Africa will take place at AIMS South Africa 6 -10 January 2015: Graduate Workshop 12 – 16 January 2015: MISG A Mathematics in Industry Study Group is a five-day workshop at which academic researchers and graduate students work collaboratively with representatives from industry on research problems submitted
Held in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute(CMI) 4-8 January 2016 Holomorphic differentials on Riemann surfaces have long held a distinguished place in several areas of low dimensional geometry, dynamics and representation theory. More recently they have emerged in intriguing ways in the study of billiards in polygons, special (so-called Hitchin) components of representation varieties, stability

The first ever IMAGINARY Exhibition-Workshop held in Africa from 5-7 November 2014, was hosted at AIMS South Africa in Muizenberg. The event was organized by the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences – Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI), IMAGINARY and the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in Germany. IMAGINARY is an interactive travelling exhibition curated by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut
We are pleased to invite applications for the second Machine Learning JEDI workshop:http://www.cosmology.org.za/ml-jedi-2/ The ethos of the JEDI workshops (jedi.saao.ac.za) is to transfer skills primarily by actively working on real-world research problems in small groups rather than through lectures. Unlike the previous Machine Learning workshop, we will focus on a single real-world problem which involves both
You know how to program a computer or use software as a tool to help do applied maths: finding eigenvalues; solving algebraic or differential equations; and plotting solutions. But do you realise that software is being used to help do the latest Pure Mathematics? Convoluted and even high-dimensional surfaces can be understood by graphical representations
58 contestants from 12 African countries gathered at AIMS South Africa for a final training camp before they had to solve six mathematical problems within nine hours during the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) at UCT on 8 and 9 July. The IMO is the world championship mathematics competition for youths under 20 hosted by a
