Innovating Through Research and Education

The Applied Mathematics and Computational Science (AMCS) Program provides students with conceptual and practical knowledge for dealing with challenges of modern science. The Program is a passport for interdisciplinary research, living at the crossroads of a wide range of scientific disciplines and offering tools to understand phenomena that are either too complex, expensive, unethical or difficult to investigate with practical experiments.
