This volume contains contributed survey papers from the main speakers at the LMS/EPSRC Symposium "Building bridges: connections and challenges in modern approaches to numerical partial differential equations". This meeting took place in July 8-16, 2014, and its main purpose was to gather specialists in emerging areas of numerical PDEs, and explore the connections between the different approaches.
The type of contributions ranges from the theoretical foundations of these new techniques, to the applications of them, to new general frameworks and unified approaches that can cover one, or more than one, of these emerging techniques.
