Lecture 2 Mathematics in Scientific Computing

科学计算中的数学

舒其望

Speaker Bio

Chi-Wang Shu obtained his BS degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1982 and his PhD degree from UCLA in 1986. He has been at Brown University since 1987, where he was the Chair of the Division of Applied Mathematics between 1999 and 2005, and is now the Theodore B. Stowell University Professor of Applied Mathematics. His research interest includes high order numerical methods for solving hyperbolic and other convection dominated PDEs, with applications in CFD and other areas. He is the Chief Editor of Journal of Scientific Computing and of Communications on Applied Mathematics and Computation, and serves in the editorial boards of several other journals including Journal of Computational Physics, Mathematics of Computation and Science China Mathematics. He is a SIAM Fellow, an AMS Fellow and an AWM Fellow, and an invited 45-minute speaker in the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 2014. He received the First Feng Kang Prize of Scientific Computing in 1995, the SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering in 2007, and the SIAM John von Neumann Prize in 2021.

舒其望教授于1982年获中国科学技术大学学士学位，1986年获加州大学洛杉矶分校博士学位。自1987年以来一直在美国布朗大学任教，1999年至2005年期间担任应用数学系主任，现为布朗大学应用数学系Theodore B. Stowell 学院讲席教授。他的研究领域主要为双曲型及对流占优偏微分方程的高阶数值方法，及其在计算流体力学等诸多领域的应用。目前担任期刊Journal of Scientific Computing和Communications on Applied Mathematics and Computation的主编，同时也担任Journal of Computational Physics、Mathematics of Computation、Science China Mathematics等多个期刊的编委。舒其望教授是美国数学会会士，美国工业与应用数学学会会士和女性数学协会会士，并于2014年在国际数学家大会上作45分钟邀请报告。1995年获第一届冯康科学计算奖，2007年获SIAM/ACM计算科学与工程奖，2021年获SIAM冯诺依曼奖。

Abstract

Scientific computing is a relatively new research area, which arose because of the advances in computer resources. It addresses the critical issue of the development, analysis and application of algorithms for solving problems in engineering and applied sciences. Mathematics plays a central role in the development of scientific computing, and is responsible for the success of computer simulation together with the increase of computer powers. In this talk I will give an introduction to scientific computing and use several examples to demonstrate the role mathematics is playing in its development.

科学计算是随着计算机的发展而出现的一个新兴研究领域，旨在解决算法的开发、分析和应用中的关键问题，使之更好地服务于工程和应用科学。数学在科学计算的发展中发挥着至关重要的作用，和计算机硬件能力的提高对计算机模拟的成功有着同等重要的贡献。本报告将简要介绍科学计算，并结合一些特例来展示数学在其发展中所扮演的重要角色。
