There have been very rapid developments of engineering and computational mathematics in Hong Kong, in part due to the research carried out within Department of Applied Mathematics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and increasing interest from sister departments in other higher education institutions in Hong Kong. As Hong Kong transforms herself into a high-tech industrial region, the need for computational mathematics rises dramatically, especially in the engineering field.

The First International Conference on Engineering and Computational Mathematics (ECM2009), held in 2009 at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, was well attended by international experts in respective disciplines and was found highly successful in providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and latest results within a multi-disciplinary setting. It is our intention to organize a well respected international conference series on engineering and computational mathematics in Hong Kong regularly.

The second conference will further promote research interests in engineering and computational mathematics in Hong Kong. The aim of this conference is to bring together engineering and computational mathematicians from around the world to present and discuss recent developments in engineering and computational mathematics, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. This conference will encourage international collaboration among engineers and applied mathematicians, and provide an opportunity for young researchers to learn the current state of the art in engineering and computational mathematics.

The themes of the ECM2013 are

This conference emphasizes its wide interdisciplinary feature and also its strong component in forward looking exploration significant mathematics with advanced algorithms applicable to real world applications. Experts of diverse disciplines and
participants are welcome to attend the conference.
