19-20 November 2011 Where science, society and technology ignite! What’s it all about? Volunteers on the Web can now help researchers with a host of scientific and social challenges. From collecting data about government spending to folding proteins to simulating the future of our planet’s climate. The scope for citizens and schools to benefit from

Computational Algebra Workshop

TOWARDS THE CLASSIFICATION OF REAL SINGULARITIES USING SINGULAR 26 to 30 September 2011 Abstract The classification of singularities by Arnold [2] over the field of real and complex numbers was a very important result not only in singularity theory and algebraic geometry. It had a great influence to many other fields as dynamical systems and

Introduction to Applied Biostatistics

This is a  two-week course for Southern African post-graduate students, organised by SACEMA, UKZN and Ghent University, and held at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), Muizenberg, Cape Town from 11 to 22 July 2011. The purpose of the course is to train Southern African students in the basic concepts and the most  commonly applied methods of biostatistics,

Modelling and Simulation in Population Biology

This research school 13-18 June 2011 will focus on the mathematical modeling of complex dynamical systems that arise in population biology. Emphasis will be placed on the discussion on mathematical tools and development of softwares that can incorporate the novel ideas from the advanced statistics  and computational mathematics. While a novice researcher will benefit by

Clinic on the Meaningful Modelling of Epidemiological Data

Jun 8, 2012 | Past workshops 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 27 May to 8 June 2012 that will emphasize the use of data in understanding infectious disease dynamics. The Clinic will bring together

4th Summer School in Mathematical Finance

17 to 19 February 2011 The AIMS Research Centre was launched in May 2008 with Mathematics in Finance as one of its three initial focus areas. Preceding the launch of the Research Centre a very successful summer school and research workshop in Mathematical Finance was held at AIMS from 18 to 23 February 2008. This

Diversity in Mathematics

From 13–17 July 2010 the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cape Town will be hosting an international conference with the title Diversity in Mathematics. The aim of this meeting is to emphasize the beauty of mathematics and the diversity of research in mathematics and in its applications. It will be of interest to a broad

Mining radio data archives and preparation for the MeerKAT/SKA

The UWC Astro group is holding a 3-day workshop at AIMS from 28 to 30 July 2010. We plan to initiate projects related to MeerKAT/SKA science that use archival radio data. We hope to exploit the galaxy evolution simulations we are running and other multiwavelength catalogs in the projects. Researchers interested in participating in the workshop should

African School on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications 2010

The African School series on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications (ASESMA) is planned on a biennial basis from 2010 to 2020. This follows on the very successful School by the same name that was held at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Muizenberg, South Africa in July 2008.
