The MMED Modeling Clinic, which emphasises the use of data in understanding infectious disease dynamics, was held at AIMS South Africa from 17 to 29 June 2024. There were 47 participants, of which 35 were AIMS students. Participants conducted modeling projects informed by epidemiological data that addressed practical questions in a meaningful way. The clinic
AIMS is turning 20, the German Research Chairs in Africa are turning 10, and the (DST-NRF) Centre of Excellence in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (CoE-MaSS) is turning 10! We invite you to a week-long festival aimed at strengthening the mathematical sciences across Africa. We will celebrate Africa’s rich mathematical heritage and promote growth in scientific
This School will take place from 20 November to 1 December 2023 at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) South Africa in Muizenberg. A blockchain is a digital list of data records, comprised by blocks which are organized in chronological order and are linked and secured by cryptographic proofs. It started to secure digital documents from data tampering, and quickly
The Mathematics in Industry Graduate Modelling Camp and Study Group was held at AIMS South Africa from 10 to 20 January 2023. There were 58 participants which included 13 AIMS Structured Master’s students. MISG is a five-day workshop at which academic researchers and graduate students work collaboratively with representatives from industry on research problems submitted
A workshop for the new generation of South African topologists, was held at AIMS South Africa 2 to 5 December 2022. The workshop was a satellite event of the annual SAMS Congress and aimed to contribute to building a cohort of future topology researchers who will work together and build further international partnerships. There were
The virtual event takes place on November 30, 2021 from 10 – 2 pm. The aim of the event is to create a platform for networking and thus an exchange of ideas on how to foster new partnerships between the participating academic institutions. Apart from that 9 short workshops focusing on best practice in international cooperation
Theory and Practice of Deep Learning The eleventh Gene Golub SIAM Summer School will take place from 19 – 30 July 2021 at AIMS South Africa in Muizenberg, South Africa. The focus of the school will be the theory, implementation, and application of deep learning based on neural nets with many layers. Students will learn
Description:This workshop will introduce participants to the theory of Mean Field Games and will lay out various research interests in the field. Mean Field Games model the dynamics of a large number of competing and rational agents. Assumed undistinguishable, the agents seek to minimize an individual cost which depends on their over statistical distribution. This
Dates: 11 to 15 April 2023 Organisers: Prof. Kerstin Jordaan (UNISA) and Prof. Peter Clarkson (University of Kent) Description: This workshop will focus on the relationship between integrable systems, in particular the Painleve equations and discrete Painleve equations, and orthogonal polynomials from both numerical and analytical perspectives. The Painleve equations, continuous and discrete, are nonlinear
