Applied Mathematics
Applied Mathematics
Our faculty engages in research in a range of areas from applied and algorithmic problems to the study of fundamental mathematical questions. By its nature, our work is and always has been inter- and multi-disciplinary. Among the research areas represented in the Division are dynamical systems and partial differential equations, control theory, probability and stochastic processes, numerical analysis and scientific computing, fluid mechanics, computational molecular biology, statistics, and pattern theory.
Graduate Program
Our graduate program in applied mathematics includes around 50 Ph.D. students, with many of them working on interdisciplinary projects, and provides training and research activities in a broad spectrum of applied mathematics.
Undergraduate
Applied Mathematics is an inherently interdisciplinary subject which applies to many problems that arise in the physical, life and social sciences as well as in engineering. We offer undergraduate degrees in Applied Mathematics, Applied Math–Biology, Applied Math–Computer Science, and Applied Math–Economics.
Our Faculty
Our faculty are dedicated to excellence in scholarship and research and include some of the most well-known experts in the field of Applied Mathematics. Our faculty actively involve undergraduates in summer research projects and offer many independent studies every year.

The David Gottlieb Memorial Lecture Series
Yvon Maday will be the lecturer for this year's Memorial Lecture in honor of David Gottlieb.
Yvon Maday is Professor of Applied Mathematics at Sorbonne University and at the Institut Universitaire de France. He has been Visiting Professor at the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University for 15 years. He has held several important positions, including Director of the UFR of Mathematics at UPMC, Director of the Jacques-Louis Lions Laboratory and President of the French Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics (SMAI). At the same time, he has developed an important research program on a wide variety of topics where he has supervised more than 40 PhD students and has written more than 200 articles in high level journals, as well as 6 books. Yvon Maday was an invited speaker at the ICM 2006 in Madrid, he was elected to the European Academy of Sciences in 2003. He was awarded the Jacques-Louis Lions Prize by the French Academy of Sciences in 2009 and in 2019 he received the ICIAM Pioneer Award for "his leading role in introducing powerful methods for numerical simulation, such as spectral methods, model reduction, domain decomposition, models and simulation in medical sciences, fluid-structure interaction, and ab-initio chemistry."
