FOURTH IMA CONFERENCE ON THE MATHEMATICS OF SURFACES
University of Bath 10th - 12th September, 1990
Application Form
The recent development of computer-based methods for the
construction, representation, and manipulation of complicated surfaces
has led to an upsurge of interest in surface mathematics. The initial
orientation was towards engineering design and manufacture, but
increasingly many applications are now being found in other branches
of science, medicine, cartography, television and the film industry.
The subject is fast-moving and intensely interesting. This diversity,
and the wide range of applicability of the subject, has already
enabled the IMA to hold three very successful conferences on the
Mathematics of Surfaces. The fourth such conference has now been
scheduled; several international authorities have been invited to
present papers, and contributed papers have also been received.
Papers will be of three types. Firstly, survey papers will
describe the state of the art of an aspect of the mathematics of
surfaces. Secondly, research papers will present new developments in
the visual recognition, manipulation, representation, design, and
approximation of surfaces, with an emphasis on computational methods
and their underlying mathematical principles. Thirdly, application
papers will, it is hoped, cover a broad spectrum of practical uses of
surface mathematics.
This combination of topics will make the conference interesting
and valuable to a wide audience of mathematicians, computer
scientists, engineers and many others who are already developing or
using computer-aided descriptions of surfaces or who wish to become
acquainted with its underlying ideas and potential applications. A
key feature will be the interplay of ideas between the theoreticians
in the subject and the user of the techniques. This should lead to
stimulating discussions of existing software tools, and current
problems and possible approaches to their solution.
