Computational Mathematics and Analysis

The AMS computational mathematics group encompasses the pipeline of approximations spanning the more theoretical aspects through to efficient computation. This includes techniques for the solution to deterministic/stochastic partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in mathematical biology, control theory, fluid dynamics, uncertainty qualification, as well as techniques useful in visualization and computer-aided geometric design.  Emerging areas in the department include mean field games, optimization, and deep learning.
