Areas of Research

The internationally known faculty of around fifty (50) professors work in areas of applied mathematics, pure mathematics, and statistics; some pursue interdisciplinary mathematics. Specifically, areas studied (with link to faculty who teach/study in this discipline) include

  • algebra (representation theory of groups and Lie algebras, abelian groups, homological algebra, invariant theory);
  • biomathematics (population dynamics, pattern formation, tumor growth models);
  • analysis (real and complex analysis, harmonic analysis, approximation theory, wavelets);
    ODEs (nonlinear oscillators, neural networks, stochastic equations, equations in
      Banach spaces)

    PDEs (elliptic and parabolic equations, reaction-diffusion systems, applications in

      climate modeling, biology, and fluid dynamics);

  • dynamical systems (monotone and skew-product flows, complex dynamics, symbolic and lattice dynamics);
  • fluid dynamics (Navier-Stokes equations, magnetohydrodynamics, applications in materials processing);
  • linear and multilinear algebra;
  • numerical analysis and computation (numerical and computational linear algebra, numerical and computational PDEs, finite-element and finite-difference methods, applications in fluid dynamics, elasticity, chemistry, geology, and biology)
  • set theory (including logic)
  • topology (continuum theory, set-theoretic topology, algebraic topology). For additional information about topology (conferences, Topology Proceedings--published here and Canada--etc., click here.
