International Conference
APPLICATIONS OF MATHEMATICS 2015
in honor of the 90th birthday of Ivo Babuška and
85th birthday of Milan Práger and Emil Vitásek

November 18–21, 2015
Institute of Mathematics, Academy of Sciences,
Žitná 25, Prague, Czech Republic

Professors Ivo Babuška, Milan Práger, and Emil Vitásek are renowned experts in numerical analysis and computational methods. Their fruitful scientific careers started in Prague, at the Institute of Mathematics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (now Czech Academy of Sciences). They collaborated there on various projects including the computational analysis of the construction technology for Orlík Dam. In 1966 they published their joint book entitled Numerical Processes in Differential Equations. It is an honor for the Institute of Mathematics to host a conference on the occasion of their birthdays.
