On August 25 – September 7, 2019, KAUST will host eligible international BS/BSc and MS students for an Applied Mathematics workshop. You will be exposed to several aspects of Applied Mathematics, including homogenization, numerics for partial differential equations and mean field games. You will also receive some training in a range of Scientific Research Skills.
Mathematical concepts and techniques are used in virtually all fields of science and engineering. Mathematics can enable exciting new discoveries and techniques. This school will expose the participating students to the frontiers of Applied Mathematics Research at KAUST.
The course includes seminars and lab work and successful students on the program will attempt to produce a collaborative research paper.
