The goal of SCAN 2008 is to advance the frontiers in verified numerical computations, as well as in their application to computational engineering and science. SCAN is sponsored by GAMM (International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics) and IMACS (International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation). These symposia have covered the numerical and algorithmic aspects of scientific computing, with a strong emphasis on verification of computed results, as well as on arithmetic, programming, and algorithmic tools for this purpose. Their objectives have been both to propagate current applications and research and to promote a greater understanding and increased awareness of the subject matters.

"It's one of the most heavily-traveled bridges in Ohio, " he said, "and because of that it is checked and monitored perhaps more than any other bridge in the state."
