Natural locomotion in fluids includes the swimming of fish and microorganisms and the flying of birds and insects. Other creatures employ similar movements on solid and fluid surfaces, e.g. snails, snakes and water striders. Nature has exploited the complex fluid dynamics of time-dependent three-dimensional flows over a wide range of Reynolds numbers to evolve a variety of interesting mechanisms of locomotion. This workshop will focus on the mechanics of these behaviors and the current state of theoretical and experimental work in the field. The scope will cover the dynamics from low to high Reynolds numbers, emphasizing the links between the fluid dynamics and the nature of the evolved mechanisms. The inclusion of movement over solid and fluid surfaces introduces new phenomena involving surface stresses and complex fluid layers.

Sparsity has become an important concept in applied mathematics. The novel field of compressive sensing predicts that sparse signals and low rank matrices can be recovered efficiently from what was previously considered incomplete information. A connection to approximation of high-dimensional functions was recently discovered. Adaptive numerical methods for the solution of operator equations and inverse problems exploit sparsity as well.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading experts and thereby stimulating research at the interface of these fields.

Applied Mathematics is well established as one of the most dynamic and important areas of research. In recent years, huge advances have been achieved through the application of mathematical ideas and techniques to a wide variety of fields such as environmental science, geology, biology, finance and industrial engineering. The International Conference on Applied Mathematics will cover a wide range of topics including all aspects of applied mathematics. Special emphasis will be placed on new applications and applied research.

The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for the exchange of expertise, experience, and insights by mathematical scientists, physicists and young researchers who are active in the area of applied mathematics. The organizing committee will invite world leaders in applied mathematics to deliver plenary lectures, and a number of invited speakers. It is envisaged that this meeting will stimulate further research, and act as a vehicle to promote this important field of mathematics in Hong Kong.

Another key goal of the conference is to encourage leading scientists from abroad to further strengthen their cooperation with local scientists. We believe that this conference will play a key role in the dissemination of research and will strongly contribute to the promotion of the image of Hong Kong as a world centre of excellence in Applied Mathematics.

In 2010, the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University will hold a three-week summer school in logic and formal epistemology for promising undergraduates in philosophy, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, and other sciences. The goals are to introduce promising students to cross-disciplinary research early in their careers, and forge lasting links between the various disciplines.

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) invites mathematicians just beginning their research careers to become part of Mathematics Research Communities, a new program to develop and sustain long-lasting cohorts for collaborative research projects in many areas of mathematics. Women and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to participate. The AMS will provide a structured program to engage and guide all participants as they start their careers.

A national showcase for research projects of undergraduate women in the mathematical sciences. The Conference will give outstanding undergraduate women the opportunity to discuss their own research and to meet other women who share their interest in the mathematical sciences. Conference activities on Friday will occur on the university's city campus, and on Saturday and Sunday at the Lincoln Downtown Holiday Inn, a short walk from downtown Lincoln. Conference participants will also have a chance to learn about life in graduate school from the perspective of current women graduate students representing math departments from across the country.

Three main lecturers will each give six 75-minute lectures:

Martin Barlow: Heat kernels on percolation clusters
Bruce Driver: Heat kernel weighted L2 spaces
A. Grigoryan: Heat kernels on metric measure spaces

In addition there will be two lecture series by A. Bendikov, Z.Q. Chen, M. Gordina and T. Kumagai.

The 2010 Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) Summer School in Probability will be held at the University of Washington and Microsoft Research from June 21 to July 10, 2010. The school will be devoted to training of doctoral students in the area of probability. We invite participation of graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, recent Ph.D.s, and also regular faculty.

The 2010 School will be the fifth event in a series of PIMS Summer Schools in Probability. The first four were held in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia.

The flagship program of PCMI is the three-week residential Summer Session program for:

• secondary school teachers
• mathematics education researchers
• undergraduate college faculty
• undergraduate students
• graduate students
• mathematics researchers

At the annual Summer Session, all six of PCMI's groups meet simultaneously, pursuing individual courses of study. The rich mathematical experience combined with interaction among all participants results in greatly increased understanding and awareness of the issues confronting mathematics and mathematics education today.
