International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics (ICOMAS 2018)

May 7 – 10, 2018

The Departmental of Mathematical Sciences, University of Memphis will be organizing the international conference titled "International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics" (ICOMAS 2018) May 7-10, 2018 which will begin with Dinner Reception on May 7, 2018. The academic sessions will be on Tuesday, May 8, Wednesday, May 9, and Thursday, May 10, 2018. The main objective of ICOMAS 2018 is to support and encourage junior researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups (women and minorities) and also to bring together distinguished researchers from around the world who are actively pursuing theoretical and methodological research in mathematics, statistics and their applications in various allied fields. The primary academic activities of the conference will focus on the following areas of mathematical and statistical sciences: combinatorics, functional analysis, operator theory, ergodic theory, partial differential equations, graph theory, number theory, statistical modeling, Bayesian analysis, big data analysis, and experimental design. The conference program will consist of plenary talks, invited talks and contributed presentations. ICOMAS 2018 will be held at the Fedex Institute of Technology, University of Memphis.

Registration Fee: $90

Registration Fee includes conference materials, refreshments, and a reception dinner on Monday May 7th.
