Abstract

Scientific computing is a relatively new research area, which arose because of the advances in computer resources. It addresses the critical issue of the development, analysis and application of algorithms for solving problems in engineering and applied sciences.  Mathematics plays a central role in the development of scientific computing, and is responsible for the success of computer simulation together with the increase of computer powers.  In this talk I will give an introduction to scientific computing and use several examples to demonstrate the role mathematics is playing in its development.


Biography

Professor Chi-Wang Shu obtained his BS degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1982 and his PhD degree from UCLA in 1986.  He has been at Brown University since 1987, as the Chair of the Division of Applied Mathematics between 1999 and 2005 and from 2023 until now, and is the Theodore B. Stowell University Professor of Applied Mathematics. His research interest includes high order numerical methods for solving hyperbolic and other convection dominated PDEs, with applications in CFD and other areas. He is the Chief Editor of Journal of Scientific Computing and of Communications on Applied Mathematics and Computation, and serves in the editorial boards of several other journals including Journal of Computational Physics. He is a SIAM Fellow, an AMS Fellow and an AWM Fellow, and received the First Feng Kang Prize of Scientific Computing in 1995, the SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering in 2007, and the SIAM John von Neumann Prize in 2021.
