Advances on computer mathematics and its applications

This book presents selected papers of the proceedings of the First HERMIS (Hellenic Research on Mathematics and Informatics) Conference, held in Athens in 1992. The main themes within the HERMIS '92 Conference were computer mathematics, operational research and statistics, and mathematics in economic science. Contributors presented their recent studies and results, and more than 50 papers were contributed. Subjects covered included: numerical solution of differential equations; parallel processing and parallel algorithms; optimization and approximation; algorithms in operational research and control theory; statistical methods and analysis; mathematics in economic science; artificial intelligence; and data bases technology. In addition, this book contains a number of selected research articles published recently in the Hellenic Mathematical Society Bulletin in the form of special issues on computer mathematics. This book is intended for applied mathematicians, computer scientists and mathematicians.
