Nearly 60 ARCS members and guests mingle with faculty and fellows during a behind-the-scenes view of the University of Washington Applied Mathematics Department, ranked first among Applied Math programs in the US. The department provides an interdisciplinary problem-solving approach to science, technology and medical research. Guests enjoyed presentations on “Modeling tsunamis, earthquakes, and other waves,” delved into “Data-driven discovery and science” and pondered the question, “What is math telling us about the brain?”
