CAM


The Center for Applied Mathematics (CAM) consists of applied mathematicians from the Mathematics Department who collaborate with other scientists and engineers at Purdue and elsewhere; it includes faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and visitors. At present, the primary area of emphasis is computational mathematics, with applications in several specific topics such as flow in porous media; waves in acoustic, elastic, or poroelastic media; population dynamics; epidemiology; and applied probability theory. Other research topics of interest to members of CAM include several aspects of control theory, inverse scattering, robotics, earthquake prediction, liquid crystals, superconductivity, and a variety of problems related to nonlinear partial differential equations.
