Paul Muir
Professor
Mathematics and Computing Science
Saint Marys University
Canada
Biography
Dr. Muir, originally from Trenton, N.S., moved to Halifax, N.S., where he completed a B.Sc. (Honours Mathematics and Physics) at Saint Mary's University (1979), and then to Toronto, Ont., where he obtained an M.Sc. (1981) and a Ph.D. (1984) in Computer Science. He then returned to Saint Mary's, in 1984, as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computing Science. He became an Associate Professor in 1989 and a Full Professor in 1997.
Research Interest
He is interested in numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, with emphasis on boundary value ordinary differential equations and Runge-Kutta methods, and the adaptive method-of-lines solution of partial differential equations.
