计算与应用数学哲学博士

近年来，由于计算能力和数据采集的大量增加，在各个科学领域中，计算，数学和统计模型的使用已急剧增加。反映基本物理定律的物理问题机理模型现已与数据驱动的方法结合在一起，其中统计推断和优化起着关键作用。这些发展正在改变统计学，计算机科学和应用数学领域的研究议程，并正在影响广泛的科学学科。一年级的学生必须修读两个三分之三的课程序列，一个是分析/物理数学加建模课程，其中包括应用功能分析，PDE和应用动力学系统，另一个是计算课程，包括矩阵计算，优化和机器学习。
The CCAM is comprised of faculty from numerous departments in the physical and biological sciences divisions of the University of Chicago, with a core group in the departments of statistics, mathematics and computer science. Some of our faculty also hold appointments at the Toyota Technological Institute (TTIC), Argonne National Lab, and the James Franck Institute. Faculty research touches on computation, applied mathematics, statistics, data science, and mathematical modeling for scientific applications. By the end of the third year, each Ph.D. student must have a dissertation advisor and, after consultation with their advisor, shall establish a thesis committee of at least three faculty members, including the advisor. At least two of the dissertation committee members must be faculty of the Committee on Computational and Applied Mathematics. A CAM form listing the committee members, with their signatures, must be approved by the Director of CCAM, and filed with the CAM student affairs administrator by the end of Spring Quarter of the third year. The composition of the committee may be changed at any time if the student or faculty so choose, however, it must always include the student's dissertation advisor and at least two of the committee members must be faculty members from the Committee on Computational and Applied Mathematics. Any such change must be filed as a resubmitted and newly completed and signed form with the CAM student affairs administrator.
