Preface

Mathematics has long been considered as the “queen and servant of science”. With the fast pace of advancement of modern science and technology, mathematics plays an indispensable role. The progress of frontier subjects, such as nanotechnology, quantum computer and genome sequence analysis, can only take place with the help of mathematical principles and techniques. Therefore, it is natural for a university like Multimedia University which is at the forefront of engineering science and advanced technology to set up a research centre that deals with the mathematical sciences.

Introduction

The Centre for Mathematical Sciences acts as an umbrella under which mathematicians, physicists and engineers can meet, discuss and formulate problems of common interest, and cooperate in their research. The centre supports research in pure and applied mathematics, statistics and computer science. It also encourages research in areas that utilize mathematics, such as telecommunication and information systems.

Objective

To bring mathematicians, physicists and engineers in Multimedia University together to focus on research on the application of mathematics to pure and applied sciences.

Mission

To be the centre of excellence for mathematical sciences by developing new mathematical techniques for frontiers topics, such as DNA sequence analysis, Internet traffic analysis and modelling, transport phenomena in complex media, nanotechnology, medical image and signal analysis, high energy physics, cosmology, etc.

Functions to the Nation

To serve as a resource centre for various technologies related to mathematical sciences.
To identify national research activities and promote them by providing needy support from the Centre for Mathematical Sciences.
To provide a platform for technology transfer amongst nations.
To provide extensive consultancy in areas of high-performance computing, mathematical modelling and scientific visualisation.
To collaborate with local industries to carry out groundbreaking commercial research.
