Eigenvalue problems are a cornerstone of modern applied mathematics, arising in diverse fields from quantum mechanics to structural engineering. At their heart, these problems seek scalar values and ...

Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are fundamental in modelling a wide range of diffusion processes in physics, finance and engineering. The numerical approximation of these equations ...

The Department of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM) at Northwestern University is highly interdisciplinary and focused on applications. Our faculty and students connect with ...

Use mathematics to solve engineering challenges. Are you a civil engineer interested in risk-management models? Or an electrical engineer wanting to dig into the complicated mathematics of circuits?

Mathematical thinking is playing an increasingly dominant role in experimental design, data analysis, and the conceptual understanding of Life. Through reading a diversity of papers at the interface ...

This unit is a hands-on introduction to the industry-standard computer package Matlab, and also to the practical implementation of numerical methods and their application to real-world problems. From ...
