Inverse problems are widespread in many varied fields such as medical and satellite imaging, biology, astronomy, geophysics, environmental sciences, computer vision, energy, finance, and defence. These problems are inverse in the sense that they arise from seeking to use a mathematical or physical model “backwards” to indirectly determine a quantity of interest from the effect that this quantity causes on some observed data. A main challenge resulting from using models “backwards” to measure causes from their effects is that solutions are often not well posed, i.e., not unique and/or unstable with respect to small perturbations in the data. This difficulty has stimulated an important amount of research and innovation at the interface of applied mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, and other fields, leading to great social and economic benefit through impact on science, medicine, and engineering.

The main aim of the Conference is to present new theoretical and methodological results and significant applications in Insurance and Finance by means of the capabilities of the interdisciplinary mathematical-statistical approach. The Steering Committee of the Conference would appreciate very much if you could collaborate in the success of the conference by participating in some activities such as the organization of sessions and/or the presentation of contributions (also through a co-author).

Sponsored by the ECM Committee of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). Feedback we received from our members is that networking and forming contacts with others at conferences is daunting but improves enjoyability of the conference. Forming contacts is what we want to facilitate at this event. This event is being run in a parallel format, we will host the event in Burleigh Court and run the same activities on Spatial.chat independently of each other. We will start the event with speeches on the history of the BAMC and ECMs, followed by what the ECM Committee does and information about the IMA. Then we will start the activities, which include: • Mathematical Taboo • Mathematical Headbandz • Celebrity Cameo • Group discussions on topics such as memorable moments during your PhD and your first conference experience

In this event, we will provide a safe environment for ECMs to discuss issues related to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) with diversity champions of major mathematical societies and find out what those societies are doing on EDI matters, in particular focused on ECMs. We will begin the event with a talk on “Recognising the partners from the shadows: a whistle tour of the historical examples of compliance with social norms of exclusivity” from our very own Diversity Champion Snezana Lawrence. This will be followed by “connecting with the community”: using spatial.chat or zoom breakout rooms, TBC will each host a discussion based on issues of EDI in mathematics and for ECMs to generate conversation. Topics TBC. As well as these discussions, other ECM committees from the major mathematics societies will be there to answer questions on what they do.

The regional meeting on Monday 4 April 2022 will consists of three talks, by Professor Dame Frances Kirwan (Oxford), Professor Diane Maclagan (Warwick), and Professor Richard Thomas (Imperial College). The lectures are aimed at a general mathematical audience. All interested, whether LMS members or not, are most welcome to attend this event. This day meeting takes place during the LMS Workshop on Mirrors, Moduli and M-Theory in the Midlands from 4-7 April 2022.

In the second edition of this School – which follows the 2021 online first edition – we aim to bring together experts from different communities to cover the investigation of diffusive systems from several viewpoints: analytically, combining methods and techniques from partial differential equations and dynamical systems to derive and analyse mathematical models for the applied phenomena; numerically, reviewing the most recent techniques and software for the computation of bifurcation diagrams and continuation with respect to the systems’ parameters; and, last but not least, from the applied - in particular biological – viewpoint, since a constant exchange of knowledge between the theoretical investigations and the experimental data is crucial in advancing research in this area.

This LMS Meeting celebrates the work of Alan Turing with a series of scientific and historical lectures, including a talk by Alan Turing's nephew, Sir Dermot Turing. On 23 June 2021, the Bank of England issued a new £50 banknote, which includes excerpts from Alan Turing’s article 'On computable numbers' and we will about the creative journey about new banknote design.

An introductory lecture series by Professor Gitta Kutyniok (LMU, Munich) on the mathematics of deep learning, accompanied by a workshop. The annual Invited Lecturers scheme aims to bring a distinguished overseas mathematician to the United Kingdom to present a small course of about ten lectures spread over a week. Each course of Invited Lectures is on a major field of current mathematical research, and is instructional in nature, being directed both at graduate students beginning research and at established mathematicians who wish to learn about a field outside their own research specialism.

We are happy to announce that a Winter School "Foliations, pseudodifferential operators and groupoids" will be held at University of Göttingen from 29. February to 4. March 2022. There will be 3 lectures given by : Claire Debord, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu - Paris Rive Gauche, Madeleine Jotz, Universität Würzburg, Victor Nistor, Université de Lorraine. We will also have problem and question sessions led by Iakovos Androulidakis (University of Athens). We kindly ask you to bring this to the attention of interested PhD students and postdocs. This Winter School is funded by the Research Training Group 2491. Partial financial support is available to cover the accommodation of some participants. You can find updated information and the registration link on the webpage of the event: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/rtg2491/winterschool On behalf of the organizers, Jérémy Mougel, Leonid Ryvkin, Thomas Schick.

This workshop fosters scientific interaction among undergraduate and graduate students, young researchers, and senior mathematicians. The program includes a minicourse (taught in Portuguese) to achieve that goal, covering topics at the intersection of the workshop's themes. Several talks by experts working in the field complete the event's program.
