Arieh Iserles (born 2 September 1947)[citation needed] is a computational mathematician, currently Professor of the Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations at the University of Cambridge and a member of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

He studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and wrote his PhD dissertation on numerical methods for stiff ordinary differential equations. His research comprises many themes in computational and applied mathematics: ordinary and partial differential equations, approximation theory, geometric numerical integration, orthogonal polynomials, functional equations, computational dynamics and the computation of highly oscillatory phenomena.

He has written a textbook, A First Course in the Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations (Cambridge University Press, 2nd ed. 2009).[1]

Iserles is the managing editor of Acta Numerica, editor-in-chief of IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis[2] and an editor of several other mathematical journals. From 1997 to 2000 he was the chair of the Society for the Foundations of Computational Mathematics.[3]

From 2010 to 2015 he was a director of the Cambridge Centre for Analysis (CCA), an

.

In 1999, he was awarded the Onsager Medal by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. In 2012 he received the David Crighton medal,[4] presented by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and London Mathematical Society "for services to mathematics and the mathematics community"[5] and in 2014 he was awarded by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics the SIAM Prize for Distinguished Service to the Profession.[6] In 2012, Iserles was an invited speaker at the 6th European Congress of Mathematics[7] in Kraków.
