First Monash-Ritsumeikan Symposium

Published: 3 December 2008

The Centre for Modelling of Stochastic Systems and the School of Mathematical Sciences are organising and running a Workshop on Advanced Stochastic Methods with Applications to Finance on 8-9 December.

The aim of the workshop is to expose postgraduate students and young researchers to the main modern mathematical techniques used in finance and risk management. The workshop consists of educational lectures given by leading international and national researchers.

The workshop will be followed by the 1st Monash-Ritsumeikan Symposium on Probability and Related Fields. This is a joint venture between the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Ritsumeikan University (Japan) and the Centre for Modelling of Stochastic Systems in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University.

World leaders in the area of Probability and Related Fields will come together to present their latest work. The meeting will be an opportunity to foster the exchange of important developments and the latest ideas in this all-important and ever-expanding area of Mathematics and its Applications.
