v. 2 (2018): Pesquisa e Ensino em Ciências Exatas e da Natureza

The Encontro Regional de Matemática Aplicada e Computacional (ERMAC) and II Simpósio de Matemática Aplicada e Computacional occurred between November 6th and 8th, 2017, at the “Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ)” – Seropédica Campus. These events are important to the dissemination of the field of Applied and Computational Mathematics, since meetings of this type unite students, professors and researchers from the most diverse fields of technology, health and science who use Mathematics as a tool to describe their activities; motivate teaching (on all levels), research and development activities regarding Applied and Computational Mathematics; encourage programs and joints actions with teaching and research institutes; and disseminate research and extension activities. Moreover, researchers make significant contributions in the form of lectures and mini-courses on relevant, current topics with undeniable quality. The “Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática Aplicada e Computacional (SBMAC)” promotes an annual regional encounter. This is a not-for-profit civil society with an unlimited number of members with objectives directed at the field of Applied and Computational Mathematics.
