HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Viet Capital Bank has agreed to sponsor a series of lectures in applied mathematics to be organised by the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics.
The lectures will be given by leading experts and scientists from around the world.
The first will be by Oxford University's Prof John Ball at VIASM in Ha Noi on August 23 and 25.
He will talk about how the mathematical study of compatibility has led to the recent discovery of new kinds of interfaces between phases and spectacular new ultra-low hysteresis materials.
Prof Ngo Bao Chau of Chicago University and science director of VIASM said applied research in maths remains weak in Viet Nam.
With assistance from the bank, VIASM hopes the lecture series would promote research in mathematical applications.
It would be an annual event. — VNS
