REPORT


Problems in engineering, computational science, and the physical and biological sciences are using increasingly sophisticated mathematical techniques. Thus, the bridge between the mathematical sciences and other disciplines is heavily traveled. The correspondingly increased dialog between the disciplines has led to the establishment of the series: interdisciplinary Ap p lied Mathematics. The purpose of this series is to meet Ihe current and future needs for the interaction between various science and technology areas on Ihe one hand and mathematics on Ihe other. This is done, firstly, by encouraging the ways thai mathematics may be applied in traditional areas, and well as point towards new and innovative areas of applications; and, secondly, by encouraging other scientific disciplines lo engage in a dialog with mathematicians outlining their problems to both access new methods and suggest innovative developments within mathematics itself. The series will consist of monographs and high-level texts from researchers working on the interplay between mathematics and other fields of science and technology.
