APPLIED COMPUTING, MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS GROUP Division of Applied Management and Computing Theory of Diffusions Applied to Stochastic Flow in Porous Media*

Management and Computing Division at Lincoln University whose research and teaching interests are in computing and quantitative disciplines. Previously this group was the academic section of the Centre for Computing and Biometrics at Lincoln University. The group teaches subjects leading to a Bachelor of Applied Computing degree and a computing major in the Bachelor of Commerce and Management. In addition, it contributes computing, statistics and mathematics subjects to a wide range of other Lincoln University degrees. In particular students can take a computing and mathematics major in the BSc. The ACMS group is strongly involved in postgraduate teaching leading to honours, masters and PhD degrees. Research interests are in modelling and simulation, applied statistics, end user computing, computer assisted learning, aspects of computer networking, geometric modelling and visualisation.
