The 2nd International Conference on Scientific Computing and Partial Differential Equations (SCPDE05)
and
The First East Asia SIAM Symposium
http://www.math.hkbu.edu.hk/SCPDE05/

The above two conferences will be held from December 12-16, 2005 at Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong.

The first of this conference series was held at Hong Kong Baptist University in December 2002, and was a highly successful event.
More details about the first conference can be viewed at
http://www.math.hkbu.edu.hk/SCPDE02.

In the second of this conference series, we would like to review recent developments and to explore exciting new directions in scientific computing and partial differential equations for time dependent problems and its interaction with other fields such as image processing, computer vision and graphics. An emphasis of this conference, which we hope will set it apart from others, is the strong interaction of significant mathematics with advanced algorithms applicable to real world applications.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is the major society for Applied Mathematicians. There are many chapters and sections for the SIAM in many regions in the world. The East Asia SIAM was formed a few years ago (http://www.siam.org/sectchapt/sections.htm), but its first conference has not yet been held. The East Asia SIAM has recently decided to organize its first conference jointly with SCPDE05.
