Press Release:

Modern Applications of Complex Variables: Modeling, Theory and Computation

The Banff International Research Station will host the "Modern Applications of Complex Variables: Modeling, Theory and Computation" workshop from January 11th to January 16th, 2015.

This workshop will bring together world-leading experts from the mathematics, physics and engineering communities, whose research shares a common theme of using complex analysis to attack real-world problems. In addition to exploring new applications of complex variable theory, the workshop will focus on drawing out the unexpected connections between different branches of complex analysis that have been emerging over the past few years.

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 U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Alberta's Advanced Education and Technology, and Mexico's Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT).
