Mathematics Professor Has Paper Published in Prestigious Research Journal
Dr. Nicoleta V. Bila, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, has recently published the paper “A new class of symmetry reductions for parameter identification problems” in the Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics, 16, 3 (2009), 355–371. The paper is co-written with Dr. Jitse Niesen at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, and introduces new types of symmetry reductions for parameter identification problems described by nonlinear partial differential equations. The international Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics is devoted to the publication of research papers concerned with the description, solution, and applications of nonlinear problems in physics and mathematics.
Department Offers a New Program for Computer Networking/Cisco CCNA Certification
In this program, students practice networking with hands on activities by using modern Cisco Network equipment and e-labs. Students develop the skills necessary to administer a network in a working environment and prepare for the Cisco CCNA examination.
The Cisco CCNA certification curriculum we offered includes three courses including Network Basics (CSC 270), Routing & Switching (CSC 271), and Intro to WAN (CSC 372). See Flyer for more detail.
Associate Professor Receives Best Paper Award and Works with International Conferences
Dr. Mohammad Siddique, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, was awarded the Best Paper Award for his paper entitled, "Positivity-Preserving Padé Schemes for Parabolic Partial Differential Equations with Nonlocal Boundary Conditions" for the session on Applied Sciences, including Applications of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Bio-sciences at the 2nd International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technological Innovation held in July 2009. The department congratulates Dr. Siddique for his distinguished academic achievement.
In addition, Dr. Siddique is active in representing FSU to an international audience. He is cur-rently organizing three conferences for international audiences. He has organized invited ses-sions to the 2nd International Multi-Conference on Engineering and Technological Innovation: IMETI 2009 (July 10-13 in Orlando, Florida) and The IMACS World Congress 2009 (August 3-5 at the University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia). Additionally, he is organizing a work-shop on Maple during the 7th International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics(ICNAAM) to be held in Greece, September 2009. Maple is a soft-ware program used by mathemati-cians and engineers.
Dr. Siddique has been at FSU since 2007. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin – Mil-waukee in 2002, where he authored a dissertation titled Smoothing with Positivity – Preserving Pade‘ Schemes for Parabolic Problems with Nonsmooth Data.
