Welcome to
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY'S
APPLIED MATHEMATICS LABORATORY
at the COURANT INSTITUTE
The AML consists of two components, providing both the tools of advanced scientific computation and a laboratory for physical experiments. The ViSLab is a state-of-the-art center for visualization and simulation, featuring numerous SGI, Sun, and Apple workstations and peripheral equipment.
The WetLab is an experimental laboratory, with basic equipment for a variety of desktop experiments in fluid dynamics and other fields.
The AML is located in three rooms on the ground floor of Warren Weaver Hall in the lobby area. The ViSLab occupies room 105 and is entered through the glass door next to the elevators. WetLabs A and B occupy rooms 104 and 103, which can be entered from the west lobby. Access is by card swipe using your NYU identification. In addition, two AML student labs are located in Rooms 624 and 730 (Use and Access Policy).
The goals of the AML are threefold:
-
To provide students, faculty, and University visitors with an
experimental facility, in its broadest form, within the mathematical
sciences environment of the Courant Institute.
-
To establish a center for education in the applied sciences. This
includes use of the AML in laboratories associated with graduate and undergraduate courses as
well as outreach programs to other
University and community institutions.
- To facilitate interdisciplinary science within the University. The AML is intended to serve the needs of educators and researchers working at the boundaries between mathematics and physics, chemistry, biology, and neural science.
