CCMA, the Center for Computational Mathematics
and Applications, is a focal point for research and educational activities in computational
mathematics in the Department of Mathematics
at Penn State. The center promotes fundamental
research in basic algorithmic development and numerical analysis as well as promotes
applications of advanced computational techniques in sciences, engineering, economics,
and industries.
CCMA Director Jinchao Xu has been
recognized in a recent Department of Energy's "Report of The Panel on Recent Significant
Advancements in Computational Science 10
BREAKTHROUGHS IN 2008" for his work related to the first provably scalable solver
code for Maxwell's equations. According to DOE, this code "is a perfect example
of how fundamental mathematical research can lead to important software advances
in high-performance computing."
A undergraduate summer
school, organized by the CCMA faculty, took place in Beijing China May.13-Jun.01, 2012. The program features a newly developed course, Analytical and Numerical
Methods for Differential Equations, and a variety of cultural activities for students
from both Penn State and Peking University. Prevous PSU-PKU summer schools. |
