Andrew M. Stuart is a British mathematician, working in applied and computational mathematics. In particular his research has focused on the numerical analysis of

dynamical systems In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a p ...
