'''Robert D. (Bob) Russell''' is professor of mathematics at Simon Fraser University.

Russell together with Uri Ascher and Robert Mattheij is the author of the seminal ''Numerical Solution of Boundary Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations'' which was subsequently republished as a SIAM Classic.<ref>{{cite web|title=Numerical Solution of Boundary Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations|url=http://www.ec-securehost.com/SIAM/CL13.html|accessdate=28 February 2013}}</ref> His latest book is ''Adaptive Moving Mesh Methods'' with Weizhang Huang<ref>{{cite journal|author-link= Alfio Quarteroni|last=Quarteroni|first=Alfio|title=Review of Adaptive Moving Mesh Methods|journal=SIAM Review|year=2011|volume=53|issue=4|pages=802–805|doi=10.1137/SIREAD000053000004000799000001}}</ref>

In 2009 Russell was made a SIAM Fellow for his contributions to the numerical analysis of differential equations.<ref>{{cite web|title=SIAM Fellows: Class of 2009|url=http://fellows.siam.org/index.php?sort=year&value=2009#Robert_D._Russell|publisher=Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematicians|accessdate=28 February 2013}}</ref>
