Introduction
The main research directions of the Applied Mathematics Department are in the areas of operational research, optimization and optimal control, statistics and actuarial science, and scientific computing. While applied research is the main focus of the Department, many staff members also carry out fundamental research. The Department encourages interdisciplinary research as attested by the number of joint research publications, joint research projects, joint organization of conferences and workshops, and academic visitors.


Conference Organization
International workshops and conferences jointly organized by the Department include:

  • International Workshop in Financial Mathematics and Statistics, Hong Kong, 2004 (with The University of Iowa)
  • The 3rd International Workshop on Optimization and Control with Applications (OCA 2004), Chongqing-Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou, China, 2004 (with The Institute of System Science, CAS (ISS), Chongqing University (CQU), Chongqing Normal University (CNU) and Sichuan University (SCU)
  • Third International DCDIS Conference on Engineering Applications and Computational Algorithms, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, 2003
  • International Conference on Applied Statistics, Actuarial Science and Financial Mathematics, Hong Kong, 2002 (with The University of Hong Kong )
  • International Symposium on Computational Mathematics and Applications, Dalian, 2002 (with Dalian University of Technology)
  • The 2nd International Workshop on Optimization and Control with Applications (OCA 2002), AnHui Province, China, 2002 (with The Chinese Academy of Science, Nanjing Normal University and Anhui University of Science and Technology)
  • The Fifth International Conference on Optimization: Techniques and Applications (ICOTA), Hong Kong, 2001 (with The Chinese University of Hong Kong and City University of Hong Kong)
  • International Workshop on Optimization and Control with Applications (OCA), Erice, Italy, 2001 (with International School of Mathematics << G. Stampacchia >>)
  • International Workshop on Control, Optimization, Signal Processing and Computer Communications, Hong Kong,2001 (with City University of Hong Kong and University of Melbourne)
  • International Symposium on Teaching and Applications of Engineering Mathematics (ISTAEM), Hong Kong, 2001 (with South Chrna University of Technology, Tsinghua University and Xian Jiaotong University)
  • International Workshop on Optimization with High Technology Applications (OHTA), Hong Kong, 2000 (with The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
  • The First Sino-Japan Optimization Meeting (SJOM), Hong Kong, 2000 (with City University of Hong Kong)
  • The International Conference on Optimization and Numerical Algebra, Nanjing, 1999 (with Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and The Chinese Academy of Sciences)

The Department played a leading role in organizing all these international conferences. The OHTA 2000 speakers are eminent leaders in their respective areas. The SJOM 2000, initiated and co-organized by the Department, has become the first of a series of such Sino-Japan optimization meetings. The OCA 2001 was the second international workshop organized by Asian mathematicians for the International School of Mathematics "G. Stampacchia" in Italy. The 5th ICOTA 2001 was a large-scale conference with over 250 participants.

The Department initiated the establishment of the Pacific Optimization Research Activity Group (POP), and has maintained its operation, including membership endorsement, conference endorsement, conference series and newsletters. POP now has over 350 members from more than 35 countries and regions.
