Applied Mathematics & Scientific Computing

Simon Fraser University Department of Mathematics

Applied Mathematics, in partnership with Scientific Computing, represents a quantitative bridge to the challenges of real-world problems. For the research group at SFU, the excitement and opportunity in this branch of mathematics stems from its evolution at the speed of technology. The trend for exponential increases in computing capabilities continually open up new vistas accessible to numerical modelling. As many research problems are complex and multi-faceted, they require strong mathematical skills, computational experience, and in-depth knowledge of background sciences. The graduate research opportunities and course offerings in Applied Mathematics at SFU reflects this emphasis on balance between classical mathematical theory, modern computational techniques, and scientific modelling.
