This is the "Math" part of my interview with Dr. Wanda Strychalski, an applied math professor at Case Western Reserve University specializing in computational cell biology and simulating partial differential equations. We begin discussing computational cell biology and the types of models Dr. Strychalski likes to implement. Dr. Strychalski shares different modeling methods for PDEs: the finite difference method (which she uses often), spectral methods, and finite element methods. We discuss the simple idea behind such methods being Taylor's Theorem or an analogous type of representation using different basis functions. Dr. Strychalski talks about building her own simulations, as most things have to be done custom since blackbox software is not versatile enough for her applications. Side topics include the math genealogy project and Dr. Strychalski's mathematical ancestors (Lax, Courant, and on back to Hilbert himself). There's plenty more in this entertaining and enjoyable discussion.
