PREFACE
The fth annual Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics
Conference (FACM '08) was held at the New Jersey Institute of Technology
in Newark (NJIT), NJ, USA, May 19-21, 2008. This year's conference was
one of the largest in the series and was focused on mathematical biology,
mathematical
uid dynamics, applied statistics, and wave propagation; ar-
eas of research strength at NJIT. The present volume contains the texts of
many of the invited talks delivered at the conference.
A special feature of the fth conference was a celebration of the 75th
birthday of Daljit S. Ahluwalia, in honor of his many contributions to the
Department and the University. Professor Ahluwalia is longtime Chair of
the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Director of the Center for
Applied Mathematics and Statistics at NJIT.
The FACM Conferences have been organized as forums for free exchange
of ideas and results at the frontiers of research in the mathematical sciences.
An overriding aim of is to show the diversity of dicult problems in the
biomedical, physical, and social sciences, and in engineering and technology,
and how they can be treated using mathematical modeling. In addition
to plenary and invited presentations by distinguished scholars, the fth
conference featured 20 contributed presentations by graduate students and
postdoctoral researchers.
Thanks are due to President R. Altenkirch, Provost P. Nelson, Senior
Vice President D. Sebastian, and Dean F. Deek, and other members of the
NJIT administration and sta for their assistance. Financial support for
this conference has was provided by NJIT's Strategic Initiative, the Society
for Mathematical Biology, and the National Science Foundation.
In addition, the Local Committees members and sta deserve great
thanks for creating a well-run and productive conference. It is a pleasure
to thank all of them for their outstanding e orts.
