The European Conference on Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications (ENUMATH) is a series of meetings held every two years to provide a forum for discussion on recent aspects of numerical mathematics and their applications. These proceedings contain a selection of invited plenary lectures, papers presented in minisymposia and contributed papers. Topics include theoretical aspects of new numerical techniques and algorithms as well as of applications in engineering and science. The book will be useful for a wide range of readers, giving them an excellent overview of the most modern methods, techniques, algorithms and results in numerical mathematics, scientific computing and their applications.

The first ENUMATH conference was held in Paris (1995), and the series continued by the one in Heidelberg (1997), Jyvaskyla (1999), Ischia (2001), Prague (2003), and Santiago de Compostela (2005). This volume contains a selection of invited plenary lectures, papers presented in minisymposia, and contributed papers of ENUMATH 2007, held in Graz, Austria, September 10–14, 2007. We are happy that so many people have shown their interest in this conference. In addition to the ten invited presentations and the public lecture, we had more than 240 talks in nine minisymposia and fifty four sessions of contributed talks, and about 316 participants from all over the world, specially from Europe.
