We welcome proposals for Special Sessions on any topics aligned with SAMS subject classifications. Special Session confirmed so far
Organisers: Christian Budde ([email protected]), Francois Schulz ([email protected]) and Muhammad Hassen ([email protected])
Session Info: We are delighted to announce a special session on "Functional Analysis and Operator Theory," welcoming contributions from all areas within these fields. This session invites participants to share their research on a broad spectrum of topics, including operator theory, operator algebras, abstract harmonic analysis, spectral theory, and all areas of topological vector spaces. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore applications of functional analysis to related areas such as stochastics, probability theory, and ergodic theory. Join us for an engaging and insightful exchange of ideas and advancements in these dynamic areas of mathematics. We look forward to your contributions and participation.

Session Info: Nonlinear differential equations describe many physical phenomena in optics, acoustics, fluid dynamics, plasma physics as well as other sciences and engineering fields. Thus, finding their solutions play a key role in understanding and interpreting the structure of these physical phenomena.
However, researchers have established several analytical and numerical techniques that can be utilized to solve nonlinear differential equations. Well-known techniques include the Lie symmetry method, the inverse scattering transformation approach, the Backland transformation method, Euler's method, and the Runge-Kutta method.
This special session will be dedicated to showcasing most recent progress in obtaining analytical and numerical solutions to nonlinear differential equations by various methods and to inspire collaborative research activities.
Organisers: Themba Dube ([email protected]), Amartya Goswami ([email protected])
Session Info: The CATL2024 Special Session will cover: all aspects of Category Theory; various aspects of Algebra (excluding finite groups and representation theory, designs and geometries, and coding theory); all aspects of Topology; all aspects of Mathematical Logic.
Organisers: Sudan Hansraj ([email protected]) and Amare Abebe ([email protected])
Session Info: The session on the Mathematics of Gravity invites contributions in the form of standard-length talks by experts and short talks by postgraduate students on any aspects of gravitational field theory: classical or quantum. Specifically work on astrophysical or cosmological modelling by solving the nonlinear partial differential field equations associated with Einstein's general theory of relativity or its modifications will be welcome. It will be interesting to probe the state of the art in modified gravity theories that have as their motivation correcting shortcomings of the standard theory by novel proposals to the geometric sector. More broadly, this special session may feature work on the geometrical aspects of gravitation such as Riemannian geometry and other aspects of differential geometry.

Session Info: As ecological and epidemiological systems grow increasingly complex, mathematical models have become indispensable tools for understanding, predicting, and managing their behaviour. This special session invites contributions that explore innovative approaches to modelling these dynamic systems, addressing challenges such as species interactions, disease transmission, and environmental change. We encourage participants to share their research and insights into how mathematical frameworks can tackle real-world ecological and epidemiological problems, shaping theoretical advancements and practical applications.
This special session will consist of topics related to Finite Groups and Combinatorial Structures, Graph Theory and Combinatorics and Number Theory
Organisers: Eric Andriantiana ([email protected]); Dibinaina Ralaivaosaona ([email protected]); Peter Dankelmann ([email protected]); Bernardo Rodrigues ([email protected]); Sesuai Madanha ([email protected])
Session info: The session will cover all aspects of graph theory and combinatorics (structural and enumerative). Contributions in related areas, such as combinatorial number theory are welcome as well. In addition to the above, the session will cover topics related with Algebraic Coding Theory, Combinatorial Design Theory, Finite Geometries, Finite Groups and Representation Theory of Finite Groups.
Topic: Brainstorming topics for systematic literature reviews in tertiary mathematics education.
Organisers: Anita Campbell ([email protected]) and Bridgette Simelane
([email protected]).
Workshop Info: Systematic literature reviews advance a field by synthesising existing research and identifying gaps for future exploration. This session is designed as an interactive brainstorming workshop where participants will collaboratively generate and refine topics suitable for systematic reviews in tertiary mathematics education.
Attendees will engage in discussions around current trends, challenges, and opportunities in mathematics education at the tertiary level, considering aspects such as teaching strategies, assessment methods, technology integration, and student engagement. The session will also provide guidance on formulating research questions, establishing inclusion criteria, and selecting appropriate databases. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a list of potential review topics and a clearer understanding of the systematic review process, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to the literature in tertiary mathematics education. This session is ideal for researchers, educators, and graduate students interested in deepening their engagement with the scholarly discourse in this field.
