A new algorithm solves complicated partial differential equations by breaking them down into simpler problems, potentially guiding computer graphics and geometry processing. mitsha.re/JbKw50TaN6b
Another day of meeting the most amazing students at the @SHPE National Convention! We’re here to encourage them to apply to @MITEECS! If you’re at #SHPE2023, come talk to us about pursuing a PhD and other opportunities at booth 2673 #YOUBelongInSTEM #PhD
