Nicholas Hurl, Ph.D.

Dr. Hurl is a professor of mathematics at Duquesne. He enjoys logic puzzles and teaching Calculus based courses and working with students on research projects. His research concentrates on numerical analysis, which finds approximate solutions to real world problems using various methods.  He studies a wide variety of multistep methods used in physical applications including geophysical flows. Much of the research consist of how a simple post processing step changes the properties of the method and alters the solution.
