Taken concurrently with EGR/MAT/PHY 191. An integrated course that covers the material of PHY 103 and MAT 201 with the emphasis on applications to engineering. Math topics include: vector calculus; ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 44, No. 3 (August 2019), pp. 783-792 (10 pages) While the computational complexity of many game-theoretic solution concepts, notably Nash equilibrium, has now ...

Marr’s seminal distinction between computational, algorithmic, and implementational levels of analysis has inspired research in cognitive science for more than 30 years. According to a widely-used ...

A relic from long before the age of supercomputers, a 169-year-old math strategy called the Jacobi iterative method is widely dismissed today as too slow to be useful. But thanks to a curious, numbers ...

Mathematicians and cancer scientists have found a way to simplify complex biomolecular data about tumors, in principle making it easier to prescribe the appropriate treatment for a specific patient.

Here's the thing about math that nobody tells you: it's less about memorizing formulas and more about knowing which tools to ...

Computational thinking has been trending, but what is it, really? Simply put, computational thinking is a method of reasoning that teaches students how to solve real-world, complex problems with ...

Gressman is the Undergraduate Chair from the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Penn mathematics professor Philip Gressman is a part of a team of 12 mathematicians across ...
