Conferences in Applied Mathematics

1. XLVII National Conference on Applications of Mathematics, September 4-11, 2018, Zakopane-Kościelisko (Ł. Stettner) The 47th National Conference on Mathematics Applications was held on September 4-11, 2018 in Zakopane Kościelisko. Together with the conference, the XXIV National Conference on Mathematics Applications in Biology and Medicine (4-7 September 2018) was held simultaneously with two common first days of the meeting. The plenary lecture was delivered by Urszula Ledzewicz (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA and Łodź University of Technology) and Heinz Schattler (Washington University, St. Louis, USA) with optimal control in biomedical problems. 2. GAMENET Conference Krakow 2018, 17 -- 21 września 2018, Krakow(F.Falniowski) On September 17-21, 2018 an international conference GAMENET Conference Krakow 2018 summarizing the first year of activity of the European network for game theoretic research GAMENET was held at the Cracow University of Economics. The main event of the first two days was a training school on the recent applications of Game Theory. The training school was build around three courses delivered by Olivier Baude (Electricite de France), Luiz DaSilva (Trinity College Dublin) and Vianney Perchet (CMLA, ENS Paris-Saclay & Criteo AI Lab). 3. Conference "Social sciences - mathematical or mathematizable?", 27 -- 28 września 2018, Krakow(Agnieszka Lipieta) The conference was held at Cracow University of Economics on September 27-28, 2018. It was devoted to the memory of outstanding mathematician, philosopher, and economist Professor Andrzej Malawski, who passed away in 2016. 4. VII Hurwicz Workshop on Mechanism Design Theory, 7--8 grudnia 2018 (Łukasz Woźny) IM PAN WarszawaThe 2018 Hurwicz Workshop on Mechanism Design Theory is a continuation of the initiative started in 2009 of holding an annual confernce to honour the 2007 Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics, professor Leonid Hurwicz. Leonid Hurwicz lived in Warsaw until 1938 and studied at the University of Warsaw. He frequently visited Poland in 1990's. In 1994 he obtained the Doctor Honoris Causa of Warsaw School of Economics. A special plaque commemorates his contacts with Warsaw School of Economics. Hurwicz is often credited with introducing rigorous mathematical approach to economic analysis. He received the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2007 for his fundamental contributions to the theory of the design of economic mechanisms. Theory of mechanism design relies heavily on mathematical methods of functional analysis, differential equations, differential topology, dynamical systems, etc. Hurwicz has made important contributions to mathematics as well as economics, in particular, to non-linear programming. 5. Conference “Mathematical Statistics”. Bedlewo, December 2--7, 2018 (Przemyslaw Grzegorzewski). On December 2--7, 2018, in Bedlewo, the XLIV Conference "Mathematical Statistics" was held, organized by the Banach Center of Institute of Mathematics Polish Accademy of Science, the Committee on Statistics of the Committee of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. During the 19 sessions, a total of 46 lectures and a series of lectures on "Bayesian Inference in Intractable Likelihood Models", i.e. on Bayesian modeling with a difficult likelihood function, were given. The lecture was delivered by Krzysztof Łatuszynski from the University of Warwick in Great Britain. 6. XLVIII Seminar on Applied Mathematics-XLVIII Seminarium Zastosowan Matematyki, 9-11.09.2018 Boguszow-Gorce (Mieczyslaw Chalfen)
