What is Applied Mathematics and Computational Science?
A SIAM Brief on the Applied Math & Computational Science Fields Applied mathematics is the branch of mathematics that is concerned with developing mathematical methods and applying them to science, engineering, industry, and society. It includes mathematical topics such as partial and ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, numerical analysis, operations research, discrete mathematics, optimization, control, and probability. Applied mathematics uses math-modeling techniques to solve real-world problems. Computational science is an emerging discipline focused on integrating applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, and the sciences to create a multidisciplinary field utilizing computational techniques and simulations to produce problem-solving techniques and methodologies. Computational science has become a third partner, together with theory and experimentation, in advancing scientific knowledge and practice. Applied mathematics and computational science are utilized
