Arieh Iserles is a computational mathematician
, currently Professor of the Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations at the University of Cambridge
and a member of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
.
He studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
and wrote his PhD dissertation on numerical methods for stiff ordinary differential equations. His research comprises many themes in computational and applied mathematics: ordinary and partial differential equations, approximation theory, geometric numerical integration, orthogonal polynomials, functional equations, computational dynamics and the computation of highly oscillatory phenomena.
He has written a textbook, A First Course in the Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations (Cambridge University Press, 2nd ed. 2009).
Arieh Iserles is the Managing Editor of Acta Numerica
and of Foundations of Computational Mathematics, Editor-in-Chief of IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis and an editor of several other mathematical journals. In 1997–99 he was the chair of the Society for Foundations of Computational Mathematics.
He is currently a Director of the Cambridge Centre for Analysis (CCA), an EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training
in mathematical analysis
.
In 1999, he was awarded the Onsager Medal, by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Mathematical analysis
Mathematical analysis, which mathematicians refer to simply as analysis, has its beginnings in the rigorous formulation of infinitesimal calculus. It is a branch of pure mathematics that includes the theories of differentiation, integration and measure, limits, infinite series, and analytic functions...
