Roger Meyer Temam
Roger Meyer Temam (born 19 May 1940) is a French applied mathematician working in numerical analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations and fluid mechanics. He graduated from the University of Paris – the University of Paris, Sorbonne in 1967, completing a doctorate () under the direction of Jacques-Louis Lions. He has published over 400 articles, as well as 12 (authored or co-authored) books. Scientific work The first work of Temam in his thesis dealt with the fractional steps method. Thereafter, "he has continually explored and developed new directions and techniques": * calculus of variations, and the notion of duality, developing the mathematical framework for discontinuous (in displacement) solutions; a concept later used for his works on the mathematical theory of plasticity; * mathematical formulation of the equilibrium of a plasma in a cavity, expressed as a nonlinear free boundary problem; * Korteweg–de Vries equation; * Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation; * E ...

Applied Mathematics
Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as physics, engineering, medicine, biology, finance, business, computer science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge. The term "applied mathematics" also describes the professional specialty in which mathematicians work on practical problems by formulating and studying mathematical models. In the past, practical applications have motivated the development of mathematical theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics where abstract concepts are studied for their own sake. The activity of applied mathematics is thus intimately connected with research in pure mathematics. History Historically, applied mathematics consisted principally of applied analysis, most notably differential equations; approximation theory (broadly construed, to include representations, asymptotic methods, variational ...
