A three-day international conference on computational, mathematical and statistical methods is to be jointly hosted by the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, and Stella Maris College from Saturday. The conference would focus on interdisciplinary investigations of the three subjects, which assume significance in view of increasing technology-driven industries outsourcing their units to India. The conference would underline the various techniques used in investigating problems in the three fields by mathematicians, scientists and engineers across the country and abroad. About 300 delegates are expected to participate in the conference in which 16 symposia and seven paper reading sessions, including the one to be awarded the R. S. Varma Best Paper Award, are to be conducted. While IIT Madras will host the conference on Saturday and Monday on its premises Sunday's conference will be held at Stella Maris College.
