Applied and Computational Mathematics

Mathematics is the language of Science, and increasingly of many other disciplines. Applied Mathematics takes mathematical structures, ideas and techniques and uses them to understand, explore and predict the behaviour of physical, biological, ecological, technological, industrial, organisational and other systems. In most cases, this now involves modelling and simulation using powerful computers.

Applied Mathematics is how Mathematics engages with the world.
