Applied Math Department

The Applied Mathematics Department is housed within the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz and the discipline intersects many fields such as physical sciences, engineering, biology, biomedicine, and sociology. Applied mathematicians develop analytical and numerical tools and use them to explain the dynamic world around us and to guide the engineering of future technology. The department is an intellectual hub for applied mathematics in a changing world by bringing in students, faculty, and visitors with a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and expertise.

    Gutie, J. (SciCAM) – SORh: Hyperbolic Relaxation Methods For Elliptic Problems In Computational Fluid Dynamics

    Virtual Event

    This thesis explores iterative methods for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs), which are used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model a wide range of physical phenomena. The primary application of interest here is self-gravity, modeled by Poisson’s equation. Although many numerical approaches exist, including direct matrix inversion, FFT-based methods, and classical iterative methods […]
