“Sometimes there’s a strange dichotomy between applied mathematics and pure mathematics,” said Professor Raul Tempone, a founding KAUST faculty member and principal investigator of the University's Stochastic Numerics Research Group. “People think that applied math is simply the application of theory.” The argument is that applied math is just classified by its ends in the sense that one is trying to solve a real problem. Tempone argues that this doesn’t mean that new theories don’t need to be created. It also does not mean that the kinds of problems are less challenging than the ones faced in
