Maths2010: Joint meeting of British Mathematical Colloquium & British Applied Mathematics Colloquium Edinburgh, 6-9 April, 2010
A joint meeting of the British Mathematical Colloquium and the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium was held in Edinburgh during the week 6-9 April, 2010. The structure and organisation of the meeting were modelled on the very successful previous joint meeting, in Liverpool in 2005.
Conference details
A total of 518 registered participants (and a small number of gatecrashers) enjoyed a full programme of lectures and social events. Plenary lectures were given by
(The latter is a regular feature of BAMCs, and is supported by an EPSRC grant.)
Throughout the meeting there was a publishers book display in the concourse of the Appleton Tower, where most of the lectures were held. Participating publishers were
Logistical and Administrative support for the meeting was provided by the International
Centre for Mathematical Sciences.
Financial Summary
Edinburgh is an attractive but relatively expensive conference venue. We were fortunate to receive substantial grant income from a variety of sources. Support for the meeting was kindly provided by:
