The Thirteenth Israeli Mini-Workshop in Applied and Computational Mathematics

Local organizers: Gil Ariel, David Kessler, Jeremy Schiff
Series founders: Raz Kupferman, Vered Rom-Kedar, Edriss S. Titi

The workshop is over, sorry. But you can see videos of most of the lectures here.

We are pleased to invite the Israeli applied math community to participate in the thirteenth Israeli Mini-Workshop in Applied and Computational Mathematics, to be held at Bar-Ilan University (Building 216, room 201) on Thursday December 29th, 2011.

These workshops have been held twice yearly most of the time since 2003. For information on previous meetings click here. The idea is to create a forum for workers in applied mathematics, especially younger faculty and students, to get to know other members of the community, and promote discussion and collaboration.

Posters. There is limited space to display posters at the meeting. If you would like to bring a poster with you, please indicate this when you register.

Support. We would like to thank the Math and Physics Departments at Bar-Ilan for providing logistic and financial support for this meeting.

Access and Parking

The workshop will take place in Building 216, room 201 on Bar-Ilan's main campus. (See the campus map.) Due to the crowded conditions on campus we unfortunately cannot provide on-campus parking. Please use the public parking lots outside (near building 1401 on the map, cost on the order of 101 sheqel). There is a free shuttle that drives around the campus and parking lots - useful if it is raining. Bar-Ilan can be accessed by bus from Jerusalem (line 400), Rehovot (line 164) and Tel Aviv (lines 45,68,70 and others). For access from Beer Sheva and Haifa we recommend taking the train to the Tel Aviv central station and then a bus or a taxi.
