Current and future directions in applied mathematics

This volume contains survey articles and general thoughts and views on applied mathematics by the plenary speakers and panelists of a symposium on current and future directions in applied mathematics, which was held in the spring of 1996 at the University of Notre Dame.

Each speaker was asked to address specifically the open questions, important trends, and available tools in their fields, what advice they would give to students entering these fields, and the links between pure and applied mathematics with respect to future developments. The book will be a useful guide to anyone, researcher, research administrator, student or teacher involved with the application of mathematics.
