The purpose of this course is to cover a number of classical papers in applied and computational mathematics. There are numerous papers that have had a lasting impact on the research in applied and computational mathematics and in this course the students will gain familiarity with a selection of these papers. The course covers the mathematical aspects, as well as historical and experimental aspects, of the papers. For each paper, students will take the role as either historian, mathematician or experimentalist and present the paper from that point of view to the other students.
