Description
This program supports mathematical research in areas where computation is central, with an emphasis on the analysis, development, and implementation of theoretically justified and efficient algorithms. The program encourages both single investigator and interdisciplinary team projects, especially those that innovate in computational mathematics and apply new techniques to model, study, and solve important application problems. The program also values opportunities for rigorous mathematical training of junior computational mathematicians through research involvement.
Proposals for conferences or workshops must be submitted through the separate "Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences" solicitation, and have specific advance submission requirements depending on the nature and location of the event.
