Books By Carl L. Gardner - Author

Carl Gardner is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Arizona State University, where he taught and did research in Computational Mathematics for 30 years.  Previously he held positions at Bowdoin College, NYU, and Duke University. Professor Gardner's research focuses on computational and theoretical fluid dynamics and the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations.  His primary application areas are charge transport in quantum semiconductor devices, ion transport in biological cells (modeling ionic channels as well as synapses), and supersonic flows in astrophysical jets (modeling interactions of jets with their environments and star formation).  These problems are governed by coupled systems of nonlinear partial differential equations, and exhibit complex fluid dynamical phenomena involving nonlinear wave interactions.
