Research trends in MSC 65 numerical analysis

The modern research area of numerical analysis was created to study the mathematics of computation after the second World War. Mathematicians in general and even specialists may not be aware of overall trends in research and especially not in quantifiable form because of the diverse subject matter. Bibliometric data show that the largest and most rapidly growing portion of numerical analysis is statistical computing. The geographic distribution of researchers is also uneven reflecting differences in national research policies.
