At the opening ceremony, Secretary Fang Hailin, on behalf of Yancheng Institute of Technology, extended a warm welcome to the attending leaders and guests, congratulating the successful convening of the Jiangsu Province Mathematical Society Computational Mathematics Branch Member Representative Conference. Secretary Fang briefly introduced the basic situation of Yancheng Institute of Technology and the School of Mathematics and Sciences, expressing best wishes for the complete success of the conference.

Representing the Board of Directors of the Computational Mathematics Branch, Chairman Song Yongzhong warmly welcomed everyone and expressed sincere gratitude to the leadership of Yancheng Institute of Technology and the School of Mathematics and Sciences for organizing the conference. He highlighted that Jiangsu's talent cultivation and scientific research in computational mathematics have consistently been at the forefront nationwide, receiving recognition from the Chinese computational mathematics community. Chairman Song also outlined several expectations for the colleagues and graduate students attending the conference, encouraging strengthened collaboration to produce groundbreaking scientific research. He emphasized the importance of not only pursuing international cutting-edge theoretical innovations but also targeting the needs of localities and industries, leaving the mark of research on the land of Jiangsu.

Ming Pingbing firstly conveyed congratulations from Academician Jiang Song, the Chairman of the Computational Mathematics Branch of the Chinese Mathematical Society, on the successful convening of the conference. He then highly praised the various accomplishments of the Jiangsu Province Computational Mathematics Branch. Ming Pingbing emphasized that not only does the comprehensive strength of computational mathematics in Jiangsu Province rank among the top nationwide, but its effective activities also serve as excellent examples for the whole country. Professor Wang Chunwu conveyed congratulations from Chairman Cheng Chongqing of the Jiangsu Province Mathematical Society and extended wishes for the complete success of the conference.

Following the opening ceremony, Chen Jinru presided over the branch council's election. The meeting heard a report on the council's work by Song Yongzhong and elected a new council. Professor Wang Yushun from Nanjing Normal University was elected as the Chairman of the branch. Vice Chairpersons included Zhang Qiang from Nanjing University, Liu Jijun from Southeast University, Wang Chunwu from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Qian Yueheng from Soochow University, Wu Gang from China University of Mining and Technology, among others. Wang Feng from Nanjing Normal University was elected as the Secretary-General. The election process was tense, orderly, serious, and concluded successfully. Subsequently, Wang Yushun, on behalf of the new council, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the trust and support from all member representatives, the Jiangsu Province Mathematical Society, the Computational Mathematics Branch of the Chinese Mathematical Society, the previous council led by Song Yongzhong, and all units and individuals who cared for, supported, and assisted the branch. He proposed the appointment of Song Yongzhong, Chen Jinru, and Wei Zhihui as honorary chairpersons of the branch, which received unanimous approval from the attending representatives.

The conference invited special keynote speakers, including Researcher Ming Pingbing from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Researcher Cheng Juan from the Beijing Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, and Professor Chen Caihua from Nanjing University. Additionally, Dr. Pang Guofei from Southeast University, Dr. Xu Yuan from Nanjing Normal University, and Dr. Pan Maodong from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics presented special lectures as young scholars.

The conference also included five separate session reports, where 50 young teachers and graduate students from universities such as Nanjing University, Southeast University, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Soochow University, China University of Mining and Technology, Yangzhou University, Jiangsu University, Suzhou University, Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, and Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications reported on their latest research achievements.

This conference enhanced the exchange and collaboration among computational mathematics and scientific computing workers in Jiangsu Province, providing a platform for educators, graduate students, and engineering and technical personnel in the fields of information and scientific computing to understand the latest developments in the discipline and exchange their most recent research findings. Its positive impact will actively contribute to the development of computational mathematics in Jiangsu Province.
