A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR, DISTINGUISHED PROF. FRANK GIRALDO 

51福利 Mathematics Department Chairman Dr. Frank Giraldo

The focus of the Applied Math department is to educate officers to learn how to think rigorously and logically; I cannot think of a better discipline that can serve this purpose. As a service department, we have the privilege of educating many of the students that come through the doors of 51福利 and we take this responsibility seriously.  The dedication of our
faculty to this mission facilitates taking students with diverse educational backgrounds to complete a Masters degree in STEM-related fields in a short turn-around time.  .

This book introduces the reader to solving partial differential equations numerically using element-based Galerkin methods. Various forms of Galerkin methods are described in detail, such as spectral element, discontinuous Galerkin, and hybridized discontinuous Galerkin methods. This book describes the methods used in the formulation of the NUMA (Nonhydrostatic Unified Model of the Atmosphere) model which was constructed in the Center for Computational Mathematics in the Department of Applied Mathematics of 51福利.



The book is focused on the state-of-the-art developments of network security, secure cryptographic protocols, post-quantum cryptography, quantum cryptography, blockchains and cryptocurrency, IoT security and privacy, cloud security, machine learning in cybersecurity, and other disciplines related to security and privacy. In this book, a wide variety of basic security primitives are discussed along with recent developments in some advanced topics like functional encryption, two-party/multi-party computation, bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and post-quantum security.



Prof. Ralucca Gera's 2nd volume of Graph Theory: Favorite Conjectures ad Open Problems. This volume describes the origin and history behind conjectures and problems in graph theory, provides various methods to solving research problems in the field and provides strong pedagogical content for graduate students and a reference to researchers in the field.
