Research
Department of mathematics faculty have diverse research
interests, from data analysis to computer vision to biological modeling to
statistical prediction to astronomy and everything in between. Students have
many opportunities to be involved in research collaborations with department
faculty and in interdisciplinary teams with faculty and students from other
departments. The primary research areas of our faculty are listed below.
