Research in Applied Mathematics has changed dramatically over the past 30 years, with revolutionary developments in traditional areas, together with the emergence of exciting new areas. These changes have been triggered by the development of more powerful computers allowing researchers to address previously intractable problems, and developments in other fields which have led to new mathematical problems.
The department has strong research programs in:
- Control and Dynamical Systems (including differential equations)
- Fluid Mechanics
- Mathematical Medicine and Biology
- Mathematical Physics
- Scientific Computing
Researchers in our department are at the forefront of a number of exciting research areas. Here are some examples:
- Math and Water
- Carbon Nanotubes
- Mathematics and medicine are powerful partners
- Saving the whales with mathematics
- Quantum sounds could reveal the shape of the universe
