Research Areas
Our professors and students explore a broad range of areas and ideas in mathematics and statistics from foundational theory to applied research. We have active researchers in the following areas: algebra, analysis; computational mathematics; differential equations; dynamical systems; mathematical biology; mathematical modeling; numerical analysis; statistics; and, topology.
