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 will be hosting
a Kickoff Symposium on September 27, 2008.
Plenary talks will be given by Marsha Berger (NYU), Herbert
Edelsbrunner (Duke),
Robert MacPherson (IAS), and Michael Miller (JHU). Leslie Greengard
(NYU)
will moderate a panel discussion on "What is Computational Science?"
More detailed information will be posted later this summer.
Detailed information about the AMCS graduate group can be found at
the: AMCS
Graduate Group Web Page.
We are no longer accepting
applications for Fall 2008.
Come back in the Fall for information about Fall 2009.
