Education
He studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and wrote his Doctor of Philosophy dissertation on numerical methods for stiff ordinary differential equations.
He studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and wrote his Doctor of Philosophy 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). Arieh Iserles is the Managing Editor of Acta Numerica, Editor-in-Chief of Institute for Mathematics and its Applications Journal of Numerical Analysis and an editor of several other mathematical journals.
From 1997 to 2000 he was the chair of the Society for the Foundations of Computational Mathematics.
He is currently a Director of the Cambridge Centre for Analysis (Chromated Copper Arsenate), an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in mathematical analysis. In 2012, Professor Iserles was an invited speaker at the 6th European Congress of Mathematics in Krakow, 2–7 July 2012.
