Computational and applied mathematicians model phenomena from a wide variety of science and engineering disciplines and design computer algorithms to solve the resulting mathematical problems. Faculty at Michigan Tech study problems from fluid dynamics, model polymers and multiphase flows, simulate optical phenomena, and study composite materials. Several faculty focus on the design and analysis of numerical methods for solving partial differential equations.
