  1. “Mathematical Highlights”

  2. New Ph.D. Program in Computational Science • Interdisciplinary degree • Major departments involved: Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics & Engineering • Site visit (Coordinating Board): Early next year • Classes will start Fall 2008 What is Computational Science? “Computer simulation of complex systems and natural phenomena that would be too expensive or dangerous, or even impossible, to study by direct experimentation.” (SIAM report, “Graduate Education for CSE”)

  3. Miguel Argáez & Leticia Velázquez • Research: Interior-point methods for linear and nonlinear programming • Recipients of the 2007 “Outstanding Performance Award in Securing Outside Extramural Funding” by UTEP’s Office for Research and Sponsored Programs • Co-PIs on UTEP’s new NSF-CREST grant ($5 million) that will create the “Cyber-ShARE Center of Excellence” on the UTEP Campus

  4. “Felina” CRAY XD1, 72 processors x 2.2 GHz AMD Opteron processor 144 GB RAM, 317 GFlops • Pavel Solin • Research: Finite Element Methods to Numerically Solve Partial Differential Equations • Organized UTEP’s “FEMTEC 2006” Conference with more than 50 participants from 12 countries

  5. Nada Al-Hanna • B.S. Mathematics, Spring 2007 • Summa Cum Laude, GPA 4.0 • UTEP Top Ten Senior • Student Marshal for the College of Science • Currently: graduate student in Mathematics • Future: Wants to become a University Professor
