Mathematics, according to President Han, provides essential support for various engineering, management, business, and social science disciplines. He emphasized that, amid the process of national rejuvenation, mathematics can effectively contribute to societal development, asserting that it's an opportune moment for the field of mathematics to shine. President Han expressed his hope that young talents in computational mathematics will make efforts and contributions to further elevate the country's level in this field in the future. Concluding his speech, President Han Jiecai extended gratitude to all members, experts, and young scholars from various universities for their support to Harbin Institute of Technology, and he extended best wishes for the success of the conference.

At the opening ceremony, Academician Jiang Song, the Chairman of the Computational Mathematics Branch of the Chinese Mathematical Society, delivered a speech, extending warm congratulations on the convening of the Second "Northeast and Western Regions Computational Mathematics Young Scholars Academic Development Exchange Conference"! He expressed heartfelt thanks to Harbin Institute of Technology's School of Mathematics for their meticulous planning and organization of this conference. In his address, Academician Jiang Song emphasized the significance of the 19th National Congress Report, which elevated education, science and technology, and talent to such a high level for the first time. In February of this year, during the collective study session of the Central Political Bureau, General Secretary Xi Jinping particularly emphasized the importance of basic research, stating that "strengthening basic research is an urgent requirement for achieving self-reliance and self-improvement in high-level science and technology, and it is the only way to build a world-leading science and technology powerhouse." Against this backdrop, in order to implement the spirit of the Central Conference on Talent Work, support the academic development of young computational mathematics scientists in the Northeast and Western regions, enhance the level of computational mathematics disciplines in these areas, and further promote the advancement of national computational mathematics research and talent cultivation, the Computational Mathematics Branch of the Chinese Mathematical Society has specially organized this young scholars' academic development exchange conference. The aim is to facilitate academic exchanges between young computational mathematics scholars from the Northeast and Western regions and their domestic counterparts.

Academician Jiang Song pointed out that computational mathematics is an essential branch of mathematics and represents the forefront of mathematical research. It is intricately linked to numerous disciplines, contributing significantly to the development of many critical scientific, technological, and engineering fields. At this stage, the nation's emphasis on mathematics provides excellent opportunities for young scholars to develop their talents and showcase their abilities. Young computational mathematics researchers are currently in a promising era. Academician Jiang Song hopes that these young professionals will always remember their mission, dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to research, and make substantial contributions to the nation's self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology.

Simultaneously, Academician Jiang Song encourages young friends to persistently engage in computational mathematics research, maintaining perseverance and striving for outstanding achievements in the Northeast and Western regions. He believes that the development of the Northeast and Western regions relies on the youth. Academician Jiang Song inspires the young scholars attending the conference to shoulder the mission of development, relentlessly contributing to the advancement of computational mathematics in these regions and across the nation. Finally, Academician Jiang Song extends his best wishes for the complete success of this exchange conference.

At the conclusion of the opening ceremony, Professor Xing Yuming, the Executive Dean of the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, extended gratitude to the two academicians for their speeches and extended a warm welcome to all attending experts and scholars. Professor Xing Yuming provided insights into the development of the School of Mathematics, earnestly welcoming domestic leaders and experts to recommend outstanding talents and doctoral candidates to join the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology. He expressed sincere gratitude to the leaders, experts, scholars, and friends who have provided enthusiastic help and strong support for the development of the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology over the years.

16 young scholars from universities in Northeastern and Western regions delivered presentations, followed by reviews and commentary from experts in computational mathematics. The experts included Researcher Hong Jialin, Professors Li Xiaoli, Liu Jijun, Researcher Ming Pingbing, Professor Sun Jianyong, Professor Wu Boying, and Professor Zhang Ran (sorted by surname's pinyin). They provided feedback focusing on key scientific issues raised in the presentations and offered constructive suggestions. Leaders, faculty, and students from the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology attended the meeting attentively and listened carefully to the presentations.
