Researchers from the Mathematical Sciences Department have teamed up with Marc Ma of the NJIT Department of Computer Science (and a new member of CAMS, the Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics) in a proposal for a massively parallel computer cluster. The cluster, which was recently funded through the NSF ``Major Research Instrumentation'' program, will be one of the leading computational facilities contained within a department of mathematical sciences in the United States. The projects that have been proposed for the cluster have a close connection with areas of application, and illustrate the interdisciplinary strengths that are focused in CAMS.
