SAYAS NUMERICS SEMINAR Online Seminar on Computational Mathematics

SAYAS NUMERICS SEMINAR is an online seminar 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 seminar ran from Fall 2020 through Fall 2021, see the schedule of talks below (videos are available for most of the talks).

The purpose of Sayas Numerics Seminar and Sayas Numerics Day 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

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.
