Differential equations are widely used to model many scientific and engineering problems, e.g. fluid mechanics, electro-magnetic, materials science and engineering, quantum physics and chemistry, biology and medicine etc. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are two fundamental mathematical tools to study differential equations arising from different applied sciences. In accompanying with the two-month program on "Nanoscale Material Interfaces"' at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, we organize this two-days workshop to bring together international visitors and local researchers who are working in this area to interact and exchange ideas. The workshop will also provide a chance for local graduate students and young researchers to learn the state-of-the-art knowledge in this area.
