Date: Saturday 20 May 2006
Location: Manchester Conference Centre
This conference was held in Manchester (previously conferences had been held in London and Oxford). This allowed for new members to attend who had not previously attended due to the location of the earlier conferences, but it was also good to see some familiar faces from the other events.
The conference began with a workshop at 10.30am on ‘The Future of Applied Mathematics’ run by Professor Chris Budd from the University of Bath. This workshop (after a quick presentation by Professor Budd) saw those present split into 3 groups to discuss aspects on the future of applied mathematics such as:
- Did the group agree with Chris’ assessment?
- What training should be available for the next generation of mathematicians?
- What is the future of applied mathematics?
- What communication issues are we facing?
- What other challenges will be faced?
