• To foster interdisciplinary research activity within MSU, highlighting the interplay between novel computational algorithms and mathematical modeling, as complementary avenues to theory and experiments.
• To provide interdisciplinary graduate education and postdoctoral research opportunities.

The North American Industry Classification System or NAICS (pronounced "nakes") is used by business and government to classify business establishments according to type of economic activity (process of production) in Canada, Mexico and the United States. It has largely replaced the older Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system; however, certain government departments and agencies, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), still use the SIC codes.
