Institute for Mathematics and Advanced Supercomputing (IMAS)

The Institute for Mathematics and Advanced Supercomputing (IMAS) fosters interdisciplinary activity between mathematics and other areas of science and engineering. The primary activity of IMAS is research and education in the applications of mathematics and computation to science and engineering, including computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, environmental sciences, physics, geophysics, chemistry, and chemical engineering.
A unique aspect of the center's educational activities is that they are carried out primarily through the participation of students in ongoing research activities at Polytechnic and through multimedia access to Polytechnic’s facilities and seminars. The center is led by two distinguished Industry Professors, Gregory and David Chudnovsky, known for breaking several world records in the late 1980s using their homemade parallel supercomputer in the global race to calculate pi to the most digits.
