Sören Bartels is Professor of Applied Mathematics
at the Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany. His primary
research interest is in the development and analysis of approximation schemes
for nonlinear partial differential equations with applications in the
simulation of modern materials. Professor Bartels has published the Springer
textbook "Numerik 3x9" and the monograph "Numerical methods for nonlinear
partial differential equations" in the Springer Series in Computational
Mathematics.
