Mathematical models have become more complex and require much more computation. They are being developed for, and applied to, many more situations than every before - from basic science, to industrial manufacturing and design, climate modeling, financial analysis, information security, data mining and countless others. There is a large body of computational mathematical knowledge that is required by all such areas. Moreover, there are outstanding opportunities for cross-fertilization of ideas, methods, and technology from one area to another; many problems would benefit from a more collaborative research effort. By gathering together researchers of wide interests from various areas of computational mathematics, the Centre for Computational Mathematics in Industry and Commerce provides an environment for such interdisciplinary and collaborative research.

This program is built upon the existing Finance program established in 1995 by the Centre for Advanced Studies in Finance, founding director, Phelim P. Boyle. The program focuses on the fundamental disciplines of mathematics, statistics, econometrics, computer science and finance. It provides the analytical tools to solve practical problems in the complex and rapidly evolving world of today's financial industry.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
