Join us for a prestigious conference honoring Professor Nicolas Gabriel Andjiga, a distinguished mathematician whose groundbreaking contributions have shaped academic thought and inspired generations of scholars.
Under the theme "Mathematics in the Contemporary World," this event will explore the vital role of mathematics in addressing today’s most pressing challenges—ranging from technology and economics to social systems and global sustainability. The conference will feature esteemed speakers, engaging discussions, and a celebration of Professor Andjiga’s remarkable career. It is a must-attend event for academics, students, and professionals passionate about the transformative power of mathematics, including Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Probability, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Game Theory, and Social Choice Theory.
A dedicated session will focus on harnessing interdisciplinary research to address border and economic issues. This session invites papers integrating mathematics, game theory, economics, social sciences, data science, and large language models to develop innovative strategies for optimizing border management, resource allocation, fostering economic collaboration, and mitigating conflicts. The session will encourage collaboration between African and international scholars with research interests in border and economic studies.
Additionally, top submissions discussing border and economic strategies involving Cameroon, Africa, and the United States—particularly the Texas border— may have the opportunity to be published in the Center for Border Economic Studies (CBEST) Border and Business Briefs at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect with thought leaders and honor a trailblazing scholar!
