SAYAS NUMERICS SEMINAR Online Seminar on Computational Mathematics

SAYAS NUMERICS SEMINAR is a weekly online seminar in Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 on computational mathematics organized by the mathematics departments of

• University of Maryland, College Park
• University of Maryland, Baltimore County
• George Mason University
• University of Delaware

The purpose of Sayas Numerics Seminar is

• to connect researchers of computational mathematics in VA, MD, DC, DE and adjacent areas
• to provide opportunities to students, postdocs and other early career researchers

This is also the purpose of the annual meeting Sayas Numerics Day (formerly Delmar Numerics Day) which cannot take place in 2020 because of Corona virus.

Sayas Numerics Day and Sayas Numerics Seminar are named in honor of Francisco Javier Sayas (1968-2019). In addition to his many other achievements, he played a key role in establishing and running DelMar Numerics Day, and was dedicated to its mission of giving especially younger mathematicians an opportunity to share their work.

Presentation honoring Francisco Javier Sayas, given by R. Nochetto at DelMar Numerics Day 2019.

Sayas Numerics Seminar has the following features for early career researchers:

• Each semester there are twelve contributed talks (20 minutes) by early career researchers.
• After each invited talk we try to have a discussion with the speaker about research directions and job opportunities in the current unusual situation.
  We encourage early career researchers in the audience to stay in the meeting and ask questions about this.

REGISTRATION      REGISTER NOW!

REGISTRATION FORM

• Registration is required for attending the Zoom talks.
  If you already registered in the fall you don't have to register again.
• Researchers from anywhere in the world are welcome to register and attend the Zoom talks.
• We will send you the Zoom link on each Monday before a talk. The Zoom link is the same for all talks.
