Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications 2009

The European Conference on Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications (ENUMATH) was held from June 29-July 3 2010 in Uppsala Sweden. This was the eighth conference in a series of biannual meetings starting in Paris (1995). S- sequent conferences were organized in Heidelberg (1997) Jyvas ¨ kyla ¨ (1999) Ischia (2001) Prague (2003) Santiago de Compostela (2005) and Graz (2007). ENU- MATH 2009 attracted over 330 attendees to the scienti c programme with ten invited speakers one public lecture 32 minisymposia and more than 280 presen- tions. This volume contains a selection of papers by the invited speakers and from the minisymposia and the contributed sessions. The purpose of the conference was to create a forum for discussion and d- semination of recent results in numerical mathematics and new applications of computational methods. Many subjects were covered in the talks and a few of the topicsrepresentedin these proceedingswere discontinuousGalerkinmethods nite elementmethodsindifferentapplicationsmethodsfor uid owelectromagnetism nancial engineeringstructuralmechanics optimalcontrol andbiomechanics.
