Second Announcement
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the forthcoming International
Symposium on Geometric Function Theory and its Applications (GFTA
2008) which will be held at Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia during November 10-13, 2008.
The symposium has been brought into attention since 2007 where
TC Istanbul Kültür University was the host of the previous
such symposium. The School
of Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is
honoured to be given the chance to organize it for 2008. The symposium
is jointly organized with the Malaysian Mathematical Sciences
Society (PERSAMA, from Persatuan
Sains Matematik Malaysia) and Kinki
University, Japan. The aim is to bring together leading experts
as well as young researchers working on topics mainly related
to univalent functions and Geometric Function Theory with applications
in various area of mathematics, and to present their recent work
to the mathematical community. English is the official language
of the symposium.
Main Topics:
* Univalent Function Theory and its Applications
* Conformal and quasiconformal mappings
* Fractional calculus
* Free boundary problems of fluid mechanics
