Computational Mathematics
Funds mathematics where computation is the centre — algorithms that are provably justified and actually efficient.
This programme funds mathematical research in areas where computation plays a central and essential role, with an emphasis on analysing, developing and implementing algorithms that are both theoretically justified and efficient. NSF calls the combination of those elements into genuinely new computational methods the hallmark of the programme.
What it strongly encourages goes one step further than…
Mathematical research where computation is central — analysis, development and implementation of theoretically justified and efficient algorithms, and their use to model, study and solve application problems.
