Liu Bie Ju Centre for Mathematical Sciences, City University of Hong Kong
Strive for excellence in applied and computational mathematics
"The Liu Bie Ju Centre for Mathematical Sciences was established in 1995 and it is unique as the only research centre in Hong Kong focusing on applied and computational mathematics.
With the rapid progress in computer technology and its impact on every aspect of human life, computational mathematics is an increasingly important field of mathematics. It is also at the core of many computational sciences, such as computational physics, computational chemistry, computational biology, computational finance, and computer science.
In most engineering and industrial applications, as well as in basic sciences, the problems are very complex. For these problems, searching for an exact solution is not practical and could be very expensive. Applied mathematics provides powerful methods for developing approximate, but quite accurate solutions to difficult problems.
The Centre’s aim to establish and promote City University of Hong Kong as a leading institution in mathematical sciences has now been widely recognized.
