This conference has been a forum for scientists of well-known research groups from various countries providing an opportunity for sharing ideas and establishing fruitful scientific cooperation. With this issue (NM&A'06) of the conference we hope to continue this tradition.

During NM&A'06 a wide range of problems concerning recent theoretical achievements in numerical methods and their applications in mathematical modeling will be discussed. Such a meeting among scientists who develop and study numerical methods, on one hand, and researchers who use them for solving real-life problems, on the other, would hopefully contribute to mutual development and enrichment.
