Press Release:
Some mathematical problems of material science: effects of multiple scales and extreme aspect ratios
Arriving Sunday, February 21 and departing Friday February 26, 2010
The Banff International Research Station will host the "Some mathematical problems of material science: effects of multiple scales and extreme aspect ratios" workshop from February 21st to February 26th, 2010.
This workshop capitalizes on recent analytical progress made concerning multiple scales/extreme aspect ratios and their importance for the modeling of various phenomena in material science.
The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in Alberta and is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the US National Science Foundation (NSF), Alberta's Advanced Education and Technology, and Mexico's Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT).
