Mathematical Modeling for Computer Applications

The mathematical sciences are part of nearly all aspects of everyday life. The discipline has underpinned such beneficial modern capabilities as internet searches, medical imaging, computer animation, numerical weather predictions, and all types of digital communications. This outstanding new volume in the series, "Mathematics and Computer Science," examines the current state of mathematical science and explores the changes needed for the discipline to be in a strong position and able to maximize its contributions.

Besides covering important practical applications for the areas where mathematics and computer science intersect, the editors of this new volume recommend that training for future generations of mathematical scientists should be re-assessed in light of the increasingly cross-disciplinary nature of the mathematical sciences. In addition, because of the valuable interplay between ideas and people from all parts of the mathematical sciences, this group of curated papers emphasizes that universities and governments need to continue to invest in the full spectrum of the mathematical sciences in order for the whole enterprise to continue to flourish long-term. Emphasis on important developments in applied mathematics and modeling, analysis and its applications, applied algebra and its applications, geometry and its applications, algebraic statistics and its applications as well as algebraic topology and its applications are covered. Whether for the veteran engineer, new hire, or student, this is a must-have volume for any library.
