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.
