Progam description for doctoral studies in Applied and Computational Mathematics
This page contains the program description for the doctoral program in Applied and Computational Mathematics.
Mathematics is playing a central role in many different areas of society. Applied mathematics is the discipline where mathematical concepts and techniques are developed and applied to solve real world problems. Computational mathematics is the collective name for numerical computations that rest on a mathematical foundation. The doctoral program in applied and computational mathematics has three main directions of study: (i) Mathematical statistics, (ii) Numerical analysis, and (iii) Optimization and systems theory.
The doctoral program in applied and computational mathematics is given jointly by the School of Engineering Sciences (SCI) and the School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC).
