As part of Yarmouk University’s celebrations of the centenary of Jordan, the university's president, Professor Islam Massad patronized the opening of Yarmouk Mathematics Conference in Differential Equations (YMC-2021), which was organized by the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Science via tele-visual communication technology. The conference addressed the latest research developments in the field of ordinary, partial, and fractional differential equations, their numerical solutions, modeling and their various applications in mathematics.
In the opening speech, Massad stressed the importance of holding scientific conferences and meetings to present novel research papers and exchange viewpoints on the exceptional conditions imposed by the Corona pandemic on the globe. He then stressed the importance of scientists, especially mathematicians, for the development and prosperity of communities and the establishment of green society. Urging the conference participants and organizers to keep holding such gatherings despite the many hardships experienced by countries during the pandemic, Massad declared that Yarmouk University is to offer two awards for the participants in this conference: One is for the best research paper delivered by a faculty member, and the other is for the best research paper delivered by a student.
For his part, the Dean of the Faculty of Science, Prof. Khalid al-Batayneh, confirmed that organizing the conference is part of the faculty’s plan to implement the University's strategic vision and its keenness to celebrate the centenary of Jordan. He then stated that the two announced awards reflect the university’s emphasis on promoting the scientific research. Moreover, he presented a brief overview of the Faculty of Science -its departments, programs, and degrees-, acknowledging the efforts of the conference committees that worked hard for its organization.
The head of the Mathematics Department, Dr. Mohammad al-Jamal, confirmed that the conference is one of the many scientific events organized by the Faculty to investigate the latest scientific developments and exchange experiences and scientific knowledge, indicating that the number of participants in the conference is 170 individuals representing 29 countries around the world and that the number of speakers in the conference is 108 researchers representing 20 countries with more than 100 talks.
