North American High Order Methods Conference (NAHOMCon) 2024, June 17-19, 2024

New England Numerical Analysis Day (NENAD) 2024, June 18, 2024

General Information

The third North American High Order Methods Conference (NAHOMCon) will be held at Dartmouth College in Hanover New Hampshire. NAHOMCon aims to provide a North American forum for computational scientists, mathematicians, scientists and engineers to share ideas and techniques on, and further the state of the art of, high order methods for the solution of partial differential equations with applications to a broad range of scientific and engineering applications.

The conference will feature six invited talks over a three day period with parallel sections of shorter lectures grouped by topics. We encourage students to register to present research in our planned poster session on June 18. All lectures will be in Kemeny Hall at Dartmouth College (campus maps).

New England Numerical Analysis Day (NENAD) will be held on June 18, 2024, in conjunction with NAHOMCon 2024. A separate registration is required for NENAD participants who are not also attending NAHOMCon 2024. A poster session will take place on June 18, 2024, in the afternoon. NENAD participants are strongly encouraged to present posters.

NAHOMCon 2024 is generously supported by the National Science Foundation and by Dartmouth College. Special thanks also to the Neukom Institute.

Registration: Deadline May 10, 2024

Registration @ NAHOMCon 2024/Nenad 2024

We encourage you to make hotel reservations before then. Questions about registration and housing can be sent to Anne Gelb ().

Support: Some financial support for students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty will be available in the form of local dormitory housing and meal plans. Travel support awards have all been made.

Spam email: Unfortunately there is a phishing email circulating that pretends to be from a travel agency and offers to make travel arrangements to conferences, including NahomCON24. Please do not reply to such emails if you receive them. Any administrative emails pertaining to NahomCON24 will only be sent from a local organizing committee member or a Dartmouth College mathematics department administrator with a dartmouth.edu email address.

Abstract submission

The deadlines for abstract submissions and requests for travel support have passed. Notifications regarding travel awards and acceptance for contributed talks, posters, and mini-symposia have been sent out.

Directions, Air Travel and Shuttle, Accommodations:

Air travel

There is a very small regional airport in Lebanon, NH. If you fly into Boston, there is a bus called the Dartmouth Coach that takes you right into Hanover, across the street from campus. There is also a stop at Lebanon (see accommodations below). Other local airports include Manchester, NH, and Burlington, VT. You will need to rent a car from either location to get to Hanover.

Driving Directions to Dartmouth

Nearby accommodations and local transportation

·       Advance Transit (Free transit for the Upper Valley) : Phone # (802) 295-1824. This very convenient free bus service has stops near several hotels throughout the Upper Valley, and includes the towns of White River Junction, Lebanon, and West Lebanon.

·       Hanover Inn : Phone # 603-643-4300. The Dartmouth Coach (from Boston-Logan airport) drops passengers in front of the hotel. It is across the street from campus, and a five minute walk to Kemeny Hall.

·       Residence Inn Hanover Lebanon: Phone # 603-643-4511. The DHMC shuttle has transportation to campus.

·       Hilton Garden Inn Lebanon, NH: Phone # 603-448-3300. The Dartmouth Coach (from Boston-Logan airport) has a stop within walking distance. There is currently no shuttle to Dartmouth. It is a conevenient 10 minute drive for those with cars, and free parking at Dartmouth for conference participants is available.
