The focus of this seminar is various methods in scientific computing, the analysis of their convergence properties and computational efficiency, and their adaptation to specific applications.

The seminar meets Mondays 1:30-2:20pm EST in Gates 122. Meeting details are included in the weekly seminar announcements.
