Interdisciplinary Symposium on Computational and Applied Mathematics

摘要

Mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and numerical and computationalmathematics have had a revolutionary influence on how scientific research is done. Every day new applications appear which demonstrate the dramatic increase in the role of computer simulation to model a variety of natural phenomena in order to both better understand them and to uncover new scientific principles and data. To explore these diverse topics, the need for interdisciplinary interaction and collaboration has become evident. These topics were the basis of an interdisciplinary symposium held at the University of Texas in April 1995. The symposium brought together leading researchers to assess the increasing opportunities in scientific research on computational mathematics and computer simulation, including mathematical modeling using numerical methods,high performance computing for large-scale applications, specialized applications in biology, environmental studies, numerical science, penetration mechanics, and wavelets and image processing together with the role of computer simulations in engineering analyses, manufacturing, and design.
