GAUSS: An NSF CSUMS project at UCF

A team of faculty members from mathematics, computer science, and education at the University of Central Florida (UCF) introduces a year-long computational mathematics research and training program based on the successes and experiences of the team in undergraduate research in computer vision and imaging science over the past twenty years. With the year-long training program in computational mathematics using the exciting applications of mathematics in images and videos as motivating examples, it is possible to provide students with a lively environment to acquire a solid background in both mathematical theory and hands-on problem solving skills. Our aim is to make the study of computational mathematics relevant to the real world and to attract students to the field of computational science by exposing them to very exciting applications of mathematics. The project restructures and improves the current curriculum in computational mathematics track at UCF, making impact on a wide range of students.
