About PanAm

For over 30 years, PanAm has connected researchers and practitioners across the Americas to advance applied mathematics, computational science, and interdisciplinary collaboration addressing real-world challenges. 

 

There is a growing interest in applied and computational mathematics in the Americas and a parallel growth in the use of mathematical and computer modeling to help solve both industrial and societal problems. A key goal of this meeting is to bring together practicing applied and computational mathematicians with scientists and engineers to exchange the latest research information and to promote outreach to create computational and applied mathematics networks in Latin America.

Early Registration – Until March 15, 2026
          Professional: $150
          Student: $75

Regular Registration – Until April 15, 2026
          Professional: $200
