"Such equations are the foundation of science, describing laws of motion, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and so forth, but solving PDEs is notoriously tricky," said Tara Holm, professor of mathematics and chair of the department.
"Al Schatz was an expert in the finite element method, a numerical technique that allows computers to estimate solutions very quickly," said Tara Holm.
"Al was brimming with ideas. Although he worked on some very technical problems, he was exceptionally able to see through the technicalities to obtain insightful results," said Alan Demlow.
"Al was not just an insightful mathematician, but also a warm and unpretentious person who was very generous to students and younger colleagues," said Alexander Vladimirsky.
