Mathematics of Planet Earth
Mathematics 2013 is the eighth 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. The 2013 conference focusses on the Mathematics of Planet Earth, including talks on climate, education, energy and demography. 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.
