Subject: Computational and Applied Mathematics at UT-Austin

The Computational and Applied Mathematics (CAM) program is an
interdisciplinary graduate program at the University of Texas at
Austin.  This exciting program draws from the strengths of the various
departments and colleges on campus.  Associated with CAM is the Texas
Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (TICAM).

FIELDS OF GRADUATE STUDY

Graduate study in Computational And Applied Mathematics embraces three
component areas: applicable mathematics, numerical analysis and
scientific computations, and mathematical modeling and applications
chosen from an approved area in engineering or science.  Graduate
study opportunities are offered in numerical analysis and scientific
computing, applicable mathematics, computational mechanics and
physics, parallel computing and computer architecture, mathematical
modeling, and in supporting areas in engineering and science which
involve mathematical modeling of physical phenomena and engineering
systems.


FACILITIES FOR GRADUATE WORK

TICAM offices and labs cover 10,000 square feet of newly renovated
office space centrally located on campus.  Extensive computing
facilities are available for research by faculty members and graduate
students in CAM, including a scientific visualization lab, a network
of 18 RS6000s networked by optic fiber, and many XTERMs.  Also
available to researchers and graduate students are a 45 node Intel
Paragon and 32 node Cray J90, administered by the UT-Austin
Computation Center High Performance Computing Facility.  This facility
will soon acquire a medium-size massively parallel processing
computer, vendor to be determined.

FACULTY

As part of this rapidly expanding program, several internationally
renowned researchers were added to an already first class group of
faculty drawn from the Colleges of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
These newcomers include Ivo Babuska (formerly with the University of
Maryland), Jerry Bona (formerly with Penn State), and Mary F. Wheeler
(formerly with Rice University).
