The next Early Career Mathematicians Conference (previously the Younger Mathematicians Conference) of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications will be held on Saturday 15th May 2010 at the Ellison Building, Northumbria University , Newcastle.

Early Career Mathematicians (ECMs) are defined as:

• Mathematicians within 15 years of graduating from a university mathematics degree;
• Members of the IMA who do not have a degree and are within the first 15 years of the first time they joined the IMA.

The ECM group has been set up to promote mathematics to ECMs, and students of mathematics at university and provide an opportunity for them to network. Whilst it is expected that those defined as ECM and those who are students of mathematics at university will get the most out of this group’s events anyone can attend events run by the group.

The Conferences attract Mathematicians from around the UK, studying and working in Universities, Schools and in many sectors of Industry. The conferences are held twice a year giving delegates the opportunity to hear talks and participate in workshops on all aspects of Mathematics as well as networking with other mathematicians.

In between the talks will be plenty of time for eating and socialising with other like-minded Early Career Mathematicians as well as quizzing the speakers in more depth on their topics.

Come along for a great day of Mathematics!
