on the Occasion of Professor Bengt Fornberg’s 80th Birthday
Monday June 8th through Wednesday June 10th 2026
Michigan Technological University
Overview
This workshop will bring together leading international experts from across the field of numerical analysis, with a central focus on high-order methods for solving partial differential equations. It is structured with a strong educational emphasis, particularly aimed at graduate students and early-career researchers across STEM disciplines. The mornings will be devoted to lectures on modern high-accuracy numerical techniques, while the afternoons will feature research talks covering a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, recent advances in the discretization of differential and integral operators, as well as methods based on rational functions, radial basis functions (RBFs), and finite difference approaches.
Location
Noblet Building, Auditorium G002, Michigan Technological University
