David Olson
Center for Applied Mathematics
David Olson's interests include fluid flow, dynamo theory (planetary and solar magnetic
fields), evolutionary ecology, and finance, all of which
involve PDE's of some sort and diffusion.
He is also interested in pedagogy and would like to introduce every
mathematical idea with an appropriately chosen real world problem.
Furthermore, he would like to introduce beginning college students to a full range
of useful mathematics, including "nontraditional" applications such as
codes and security, data compression, error correction in addition to
standard topics such as differential equations.
