Applied Math and Computational Science

The Working Group in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science (AMCS) is composed of faculty and students drawn from a wide range of Schools at the University of Pennsylvania. The WGAMCS provides a forum for researchers from fields that involve mathematics in a significant way to meet and discuss problems of common interest. We have now established a new interdepartmental, interschool graduate group offering doctoral and masters degrees in Applied Math and Computational Science.

The AMCS Kickoff Symposium, held on September 27, 2008 was a great success. We thank the speakers, Marsha Berger (NYU), Herbert Edelsbrunner (Duke), Robert MacPherson (IAS), and Michael Miller (JHU), Leslie Greengard (NYU) and panelists, Michael Kearns, and Robert Ghrist.

Detailed information about the AMCS graduate group can be found at the:
AMCS Graduate Group Web Page.
The online application for Fall 2009 will be available after October 1, 2008.
