• The Fall 2002 Finite Element Circus was hosted by the CCMA. The Finite element Circus is a regular conference held twice a year. The primary discussion topics usually are recently developed techniques in the finite element method and other modern numerical methods for partial differential equations.
   
  
• Starting from Fall 2001, the Department of Mathematics offers a new graduate course in Applied Mathematics: MATH 598, Introduction to Applied Mathematics. This course was developed by the faculty accosiated with CCMA. The topics covered and the syllabus were coordinated with faculty from other departments. Although this is the first time such course has been offered, it has a great popularity and the enrolment is unusually high for a graduate course: 46 students.
