Arieh Iserles (born 2 September 1947) is a computational mathematician, currently Professor of the Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations at the University of Cambridge and a member of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.
He studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and wrote his PhD dissertation on numerical methods for stiff ordinary differential equations. His research comprises many themes in computational and applied mathematics: ordinary and partial differential equations, approximation theory, geometric numerical integration, orthogonal polynomials, functional equations, computational dynamics and the computation of highly oscillatory phenomena.
He has written a textbook, A First Course in the Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations (Cambridge University Press, 2nd ed. 2009).[1]
Arieh Iserles is the Managing Editor of Acta Numerica and of Foundations of Computational Mathematics,[2] Editor-in-Chief of IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis[3] and an editor of several other mathematical journals. In 1997–99 he was the chair of the Society for Foundations of Computational Mathematics.[4]
He is currently a Director of the Cambridge Centre for Analysis (CCA), an EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in mathematical analysis.
In 1999, he was awarded the Onsager Medal, by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
