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
The South African Centre for Epidemiological Modeling and Analysis (SACEMA), in collaboration with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), is holding a 2 week modeling clinic from 2 June to 14 June 2014. The focus is on bringing together mathematical modeling ideas with practical approaches to infectious disease data and policy. This 2?week modeling
22 April 2014, 14:00 – 16:45 The talks will be held in the main lecture room at AIMS South Africa.
We are pleased to announce the first hands-on Machine Learning workshop using the JEDI format: http://www.cosmology.org.za/ml-jedi/ The ethos of the JEDI workshops (jedi.saao.ac.za) is to transfer skills primarily by working on real-world research problems in small groups, rather than through lectures. In this workshop we will introduce machine learning for big data problems and cover some algorithms
Held at AIMS from 20 to 22 February 2014. 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 advanced MSc) students in mathematical finance. Speakers
