International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics 2007 16-20 July 2007, Zurich, Switzerland
Goals
The International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) is held every four years and is the most important general meeting, worldwide, for applied mathematicians. The Congress covers the full spectrum of research topics in applied mathematics, industrial mathematics and applications of mathematics in industry and scientific disciplines.
The Congress celebrates and describes the contributions of applied mathematics - as an intellectual creation in its own right, as a foundation stone of technological development, and as an indispensable collaborative partner for other scientific disciplines. These aspects of applied mathematics have held true since the dawn of civilisation. They will remain just as important in societies more and more dominated by technology. The Congress is held under the auspices of the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, an international body consisting of approximately 25 professional applied mathematical societies and mathematical societies with a strong membership of applied mathematicians.
