Description

We are starting a new weekly seminar series covering topics across the interfaces of modern applied mathematics, computational mathematics, and high-performance computing. One of our visions for this seminar series is to build bridges across working groups at the department of mathematics and the SCC, establishing a platform for promoting knowledge transfer and cross-disciplinary collaborations.

The seminar builds upon the tradition of the “Sciences - Computing - Data - Mathematics (SCDM)” seminar and is also known as the Oberseminar “Computational Science and Mathematical Methods”.
