The Mathematics Research Center was established in 2011 with support from the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at University of Pittsburgh. The MRC operates within the Department of Mathematics and its research activities encompass a broad range of areas, including algebra, combinatorics, geometry, topology, analysis, applied analysis, mathematical biology, mathematical finance, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. Ongoing activities include semester themes, distinguished lecture series, workshops, miniconferences, research seminars, a visitor program, and a postdoctoral program.
Upcoming Workshops and Mini Conferences
Structure Preserving Discretizations: FEMS, Splines, and IGA
The conference “Structure Preserving Discretizations: FEMs, Splines, and IGA” will be held from May 31-June 1, 2019 at the University of Pittsburgh, Department of Mathematics. This conference, organized by Associate Professor Michael Neilan, will discuss current trends of smooth structure preserving discretizations for various PDE models. Twelve talks will be given by leading experts with a specific focus on the intersection of finite element analysis, multivariate spline theory, and algebraic geometry and their applications to produce high-fidelity computational methods that exactly enforce conservation laws. The conference is supported by the NSF, the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, and the Pitt Mathematics Research Center.

Local and Nonlocal Trends in Analysis and Geometry
This workshop aims to bring together mathematicians that are currently working on local and nonlocal differential equations and applications, particularly to geometry. In addition to established senior scientist, we plan for the participation of young researchers, including graduate students. The extremely fruitful interplay between geometry and analysis is as old as the two subjects, and in recent years nonlocal techniques have been developed that promise further applications in Geometric Analysis. It is our goal to bring together experts in these different fields, to foster the exchange of ideas and open problems.
