There will be a minisymposium titled "Solving ODEs and PDEs in Chebfun" at the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium, to be held in Oxford on April 5, 2016.

Abstract: We believe that Chebfun is the most convenient tool available for solving ODE initial- and boundary-value problems. This minisymposium will survey Chebun's methods and capabilities and present many applications. Chebfun runs in MATLAB and can be downloaded freely from www.chebfun.org. Together with others on the Chebfun team, its ODE/PDE capabilities are especially due to Toby Driscoll, Nick Hale, and Asgeir Birkisson.
