The Department of Applied Mathematics has 30 faculty members and over 100 graduate students. We offer undergraduate plans in Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics that attract outstanding students. The wide range of interdisciplinary research being undertaken in the department provides a stimulating environment for our graduate program.
The department has research programs in
- Control and Dynamical Systems (including differential equations)
- Fluid Mechanics
- Mathematical Medicine and Biology
- Mathematical Physics
- Scientific Computing
New: Modified AM undergraduate programs from Fall 2025! (Including the AM-SciML program, our new major focusing on Scientific Machine Learning; new course AMATH 345 - Data-Driven Mathematical modeling; a new Climate and Sustainability specialization; and PHYS 121 no longer being required for the AM major.)
