Professor Courtney Paquette from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is featured in SIAM News—the journal of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The publication showcases the state of the art in applied mathematics, computational science, and data science, while highlighting real-world applications of mathematical research. In doing so, it helps lay the groundwork for scientific advances and new discoveries, supports efforts to address pressing global challenges, and enables leaders and policymakers to make informed decisions.
