About iCME
With the advent of ever increasing computer power the role of mathematical modeling of engineering systems is becoming ubiquitous. Numerical simulation technology has advanced all areas of engineering including, aerospace, chemical, communication, networking, manufacturing, bio-medical, materials, semi-conductor processing, environmental engineering and transportation. It now plays an equal role to theory and physical experiments in discovery driven engineering research.
The Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (iCME) leverages the outstanding strengths of Stanford in engineering applications and physical, biological and earth sciences to focus and guide the development of modern research and educational enterprise in computational mathematics. iCME's central research mission is the development of sophisticated algorithmic and mathematical tools, which impact many different applied disciplines.
The Institute offers a comprehensive suite of undergraduate and graduate service courses in numerical methods and applied mathematics. It also offers a strong core set of advanced courses for students enrolled in the Institute's M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs.
