This volume contains selected papers of the proceedings of the first Hellenic Conference on Mathematics and Informatics (HERMIS '92). The main theme for HERMIS '92 Conference was Computer Mathematics, with special emphasis on Computational Mathematics, Operational Research and Statistics, and Mathematics in Economic Science. The presented papers of the HERMIS Conference have been classified into the following technical sessions: Numerical solution of Differential Equations, Parallel Processing and Parallel Algorithms, Optimization and Approximation, Algorithms in Operational Research and Control Theory, Statistical Methods and Analysis, Mathematics in Economic Science, Artificial Intelligence and Data Bases Technology.

In addition, a number of selected research articles published recently in the Hellenic Mathematical Society Bulletin in the form of special issues on Computer Mathematics (Volumes 31 and 32) are also included.
