This is the proceedings from the ENUMATH 2009 conference in Uppsala, Sweden, in June 29- July 3, 2009, with about 100 papers by the invited speakers and the speakers in the minisymposia and contributed sessions. The volume gives an overview of contemporary techniques, algorithms and results in numerical mathematics, scientific computing and their applications. Examples of methods are finite element methods, multiscale methods, numerical linear algebra, and high performance computing algorithms applied to problems in fluid flow, materials, electromagnetics, and chemistry.

Preface
The European Conference on Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications (ENUMATH) was held from June 29–July 3, 2010, in Uppsala, Sweden. This was the eighth conference in a series of biannual meetings starting in Paris (1995). Subsequent conferences were organized in Heidelberg (1997), Jyv¨askyl¨a (1999), Ischia (2001), Prague (2003), Santiago de Compostela (2005), and Graz (2007). ENUMATH 2009 attracted over 330 attendees to the scientific programme, with ten invited speakers, one public lecture, 32 minisymposia, and more than 280 presentations. This volume contains a selection of papers by the invited speakers and from the minisymposia and the contributed sessions. The purpose of the conference was to create a forum for discussion and dissemination of recent results in numerical mathematics and new applications of computational methods. Many subjects were covered in the talks and a few of the topics re
