The Berkeley Scientific Computing and Numerical Methods team—comprising faculty, students, visitors, and affiliated researchers—has developed widely adopted scientific software and hardware standards, grounded in rigorous theoretical frameworks. Their success stems from a dedication to creating robust industrial-grade software and algorithms while supporting comprehensive scientific applications through extensive interdisciplinary partnerships across science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. Their work spans symbolic, numerical, and geometric computing, frequently utilizing parallel or distributed systems.
Berkeley benefits from its prime location amid rich scientific computing resources, including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC, housed at LBNL), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. These institutions provide scientific collaborators, complex challenges, and advanced high-performance computing infrastructure. Additional key resources include Berkeley's campus-wide Millenium initiative, which leverages a network of tightly integrated Intel-based computing clusters.

Qualification Requirements
The following minimum requirements apply to all graduate programs and will be verified by the Graduate Division:
A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution,
A grade point average of B or better (3.0),
If the applicant comes from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these), and
Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the given field. Transcripts: Applicants may upload unofficial transcripts with your application for the departmental initial review. If the applicant is admitted, then official transcripts of all college-level work will be required. Letters of recommendation: Applicants may request online letters of recommendation through the online application system. Hard copies of recommendation letters must be sent directly to the program, not the Graduate Division. GRE Scores: All three sections of the GRE are required.
