Third International Conference on
"Numerical Analysis and Applications"
About the Conferences
This conference is third in a series.
The first meeting (June 24-28, 1996) attracted over 80 participants from more than 22 countries. Among them there were 24 participants from Bulgaria and 20 participants from the remaining Eastern European countries. In this way the meeting facilitated an exchange of ideas between East and West. The refereed Proceedings were published by Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (vol. 1196).
The second one (June 11-15, 2000) attracted over 100 participants from more than 23 countries. Among them there were 21 participants from Bulgaria and 22 participants from the remaining Eastern European countries. The refereed Proceedings were published by Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (vol. 1988).
We believe that we have created a significant international event and utilizing all of our experience we plan to repeat them in 2004. We intend to make these meetings traditional. The largest group of numerical analysts in Bulgaria is in Sofia. They have a similar series of conferences each four years starting in the early eighties. The last three were held in 1994, 1998 and 2002. In the last several years a second group of scientists working on various aspects of Numerical Analysis came into being at the University of Ruse.
Our plans are to organize such a meeting each four years in Ruse as well starting from 1996. These will overlap with the meetings in Sofia, and thus an international conference on Numerical Analysis will take place in Bulgaria every two years.
