Abstract
This semester program will bring together both leading experts and junior researchers to discuss the current state-of-the-art and emerging trends in computational PDEs. While there are scores of numerical methodologies designed for a wide variety of PDEs, the program will be designed around three workshops each centered around a specific theme: PDEs and Geometry, Nonlocal PDEs, and Numerical Analysis of Multiphysics problems. This grouping of topics embodies a broad representation of computational mathematics with each set possessing their own skill set of mathematical tools and viewpoints. Nonetheless, all workshops will have the common theme of using rigorous mathematical theory to develop and analyze the convergence and efficiency of numerical methods. The diversity of the workshop topics will bring together historically distinct groups of mathematicians to interact and facilitate new ideas and breakthroughs.
