Mathematics 2018 is the twelfth in the series of annual IMA conferences to promote mathematics. This series aims to demonstrate to both mathematicians and non-mathematicians the many uses of modern mathematics. We hope that the audience will have mathematicians, those who work with mathematicians in policy forming roles, and anyone who has an interest in developments in the applications of mathematics.
