Abstract
In this project I study the mathematical and logical foundations of computation in topology and analysis. The goal of the project is to develop mathematical methods and programming constructs with which we can analyze and guarantee mathematical correctness of results in scientific computing, such as computational solutions of differential equations occurring in physics and chemistry. In traditional numerical analysis empahsis is given to studying numerical algorithms that involve numbers with finite numerical precision. My project complements numerical analysis because its driving motivation is to provide computing methods that adapt automatically to achive any degree of precision, while at the same time they guarantee correctness of results. Such methods are needed when the traditional numerical analysis gives unsatisfactory precision guarantees, or in critical applications where even slightly incorrect results may lead to catastrophic failures.
