Abstract

On 31 May – 2 June, 2017, more than 300 scholars from 25 countries and regions met at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for the Third International Conference on Engineering and Computational Mathematics (ECM2017). With the emphasis of strong interaction of significant 
mathematics with advanced algorithms applicable to real world applications, first-rate invited 
speakers including academicians from Asia, Europe, and North America, attended the conference.

The programme included 6 plenary addresses, 6 streams and 4 invited workshops with 235 talks. 
The plenary addresses were given by internationally-recognized scholars:

Jong-Shi Pang University of Southern California, USA
Shige Peng      Shandong University, China
Benoit Perthame    Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France
Chi-Wang Shu Brown University, USA
Bernd Sturmfels    University of California, USA
Zhiliang Ying  Columbia University in the City of New York, USA

The delegation from the Chinese mainland included 108 participants, young and mature scholars alike. 
There were 91 participants from Hong Kong, representing five universities. More than 40 students participated in the conference, some of them gave talks and many of them engaged in academic discussions with senior scholars.

This conference was financially supported by:

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) 
Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Science (AMSS, CAS) 
Chinese Mathematical Society
Faculty of Applied Science and Textiles, PolyU
Faculty of Engineering, PolyU
Huawei Technologies Company Limited
K.C. Wong Education Foundation
The AMSS-PolyU Joint Research Institute for Engineering and Management Mathematics (AMSS-PolyU JRI)
The Hong Kong Mathematical Society (HKMS)

Because of their donations we were able to partially support the expenses of the plenary speakers, students,and those participants having financial difficulty. Without the generosity of all donors this conference would not have been successful as it was.
