Mathematical and Computational Physics Group (MCP)
Professor Holst interacts with a small group of scientists, postdocs,
graduate students, and undergraduate students from
CCoM
which collectively form the
Mathematical and Computational Physics
Group (MCP).
This energetic and creative group of people is supported by
NSF, DOE, NIH, and other funding awards for research projects in the
general areas of computational mathematics and mathematical physics.
This group meets together weekly in a
group meeting/journal club
that involves members of the group giving lectures on topics in the
general areas of computational mathematics and mathematical physics.
Graduate students in the group usually pursue their M.S. and/or Ph.D. degrees
in Mathematics with a formal Specialization in Computational Science
through the
Computational Science, Mathematics, and
Engineering Program (CSME).
CSME is a new interdisciplinary graduate program at UCSD
directed by Professor Holst and Professor Julius Kuti in the
UCSD Physics Department;
most of the CCoM faculty are heavily involved in the CSME program
through the CSME Executive and Advisory Committees, and/or by advising
graduate students enrolled in the CSME Program.
