Douglas B. Meade

Douglas B. Meade received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University in 1989, then spent two years as a Research Assistant Professor in the Center of Applied Mathematics at Purdue University. Since 1991 he has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of South Carolina. Research interests are presently directed towards numerical methods for PDEs, in particular, wave propagation on unbounded domains and nonlinear reaction--diffusion equations. Maple is used extensively in this research. Dr. Meade has also incorporated student usage of Maple into a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses. These efforts have been generously supported by the Office of the Provost, including funding (joint with Professor White) from the Lilly Endowment Teaching Fellows Program.
