The Munich University of Technology (TUM) is among Germany's
largest Technical Universities. Its Faculty for Mathematics
plays within TUM a central role by providing services
such as teaching and know-how transfers to
other faculties, mainly to engineering.
The Faculty is split into twelve chairs, among them the new
Chair for Numerical Analysis and Scientific
Computing (M3), which was founded in April 1998 by the inauguration
of its head, Folkmar Bornemann, and a
Chair for Applied Mathematics in Ecology and Medicine (M12),
headed by Rupert Lasser.
The general focus of M3 is on numerical analysis and scientific
computing, i.e. simulation,
efficient algorithms and visualization techniques for scientific
problems, especially in the area of the numerical treatment of
partial differential equations,
whereas M12 concentrates its activities on mathematical methods
in signal processing and various of its applications in health
and environmental research, such as medical imaging, remote sensing,
landscape analysis and geoinformation systems.
Based on common activities in approximation theory,
there is a close collaboration between these two chairs.
In particular, there is an ongoing joint project on multivariate
scattered data approximation which is closely related to the
topics multiresolution analysis and geometric modelling.
The project is concerned with the design of stable and efficient
algorithms and it addresses aspects concerning error analysis.
Data thinning and filtering using triangulation methods are, along
with wavelets and radial basis functions in combination with functional
analysis, among the key techniques.
