Computing in Science and Engineering (CiSE)

Computing in Science and Engineering is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary area with connections to engineering, mathematics and computer science. This specialisation focuses on mathematical modelling and simulation of problems arising in science and engineering, the mathematical analysis of such models and the development of new mathematical methods and techniques for solving such problems.

This specialisation includes the following themes:

  • Mathematical Physics
  • Analysis
  • Numerical Analysis

Considerable industrial and economic interests are involved when it comes to mathematical modelling. This is because one can predict and optimise properties of not (yet) realised technical or physical systems better if one uses computational and mathematical models. This generates a demand for experts, especially in large industries and research institutes Furthermore, in financial institutes, advances in mathematical finance have created a demand for applied mathematicians.
