ACIAM 2024
AFRICAN CONFERENCE FOR INDUSTRIAL AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS (ACIAM 2024)
About the Conference
ACIAM 2024 is an international congress that brings together applied mathematicians and computational scientists from academia, industries, engineering, manufacturing, research and development institutions, service and consulting organizations, government, and military organizations across Africa and globally. The primary objective of ACIAM2024 is to share valuable mathematical knowledge with other professionals who can implement mathematical theory for practical, scientific, or industrial use to promote economic growth and technological advancement across the African continent. In addition, the conference will also witness the inauguration of the African Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ASIAM).
About the conference
Conference around the globe for Mathematicians.
The Conference will involve three main components:
- Showcase of applied mathematics to students and state officials.
- The technical sessions i.e., core conference business and most importantly.
- The conference will conclude with the launch and inauguration of the African Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ASIAM).
What’s happening at the conference?
Advance the application of mathematics and computational science to engineering, industry, science, and society in Africa. Promote research that leads to effective new mathematical and computational methods and techniques for science, engineering, industry, and society in Africa and globally.
Provide a platform to exchange information and ideas among applied mathematicians, engineers, and scientists in Africa and globally.

Message from Chairpersons

Stellenbosch University, South Africa[MFR, FAAS, FIAPS, FNMS ], Vice President-African
Our continent has a rich history as a hub of mathematics, attracting scholars from across the globe. From Hypatia to Pythagoras, Africa has been a source of inspiration for mathematicians throughout history. Africa boasts the earliest known use of measuring and calculation, with artifacts like the Lebombo bone and evidence of advanced mathematics dating back millennia. Additionally, fractals, patterns repeating at various scales, have been utilized by Africans for generations in various creative endeavors.
Despite this rich heritage, many of our children now seek mathematical education abroad. I invite you to the African Conference for Applied and Industrial Mathematics scheduled for September 30 to October 4, in Cape Town, South Africa. This conference aims to address African challenges using mathematical solutions.
Let us remember the story of 1 Kings 18:44, where a small cloud brought rain. Let us gather in Cape Town with precise goals. I urge you to join us in Cape Town, where we hope to spark a revolution of innovation across Africa. Let us remember the lessons of the Tower of Babel and work together to build a brighter future for our continent. Sincerely
