Faculty. Consists of members from a variety of departments whose research interests are mathematically oriented. Departments represented include Biological Sciences; Chemistry; Engineering: Computer Science, Chemical and Materials Science, Civil and Environmental, Electrical and Computer, and Mechanical and Aeronautical; Environmental Science and Policy; Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine; Evolution and Ecology; Land, Air and Water Resources; Management; Mathematics; Physics; Radiology; Statistics; and Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology.
Graduate Study. Students prepare for careers where mathematics is applied to problems in the physical and life sciences, engineering, and management. The degree requirements consist of rigorous training in applied mathematics, including course work and a research dissertation under the direction of a member of the Graduate Group in Applied Mathematics. The M.S. degree provides preparation for further study in applied mathematics or an application area, or for a career in industry or public service. The Ph.D. degree provides preparation for a career in research and/or teaching, or in industrial or national research laboratories. Areas of research in the program include differential equations, fluid mechanics, numerical analysis, operations research, systems theory, probability and stochastic processes, mathematical biology, and mathematical physics. Detailed information may be obtained by writing to the Graduate Coordinator, Department of Mathematics.
New applicants are admitted to the fall quarter only.
Preparation. The program encourages application from students who have prior training in engineering, physical and life sciences, mathematics, economics, and related fields. Applicants must have completed two years of undergraduate mathematics including linear algebra, differential equations, and vector calculus. A rigorous course in advanced calculus is strongly encouraged.
Graduate Advisers. A. Cheer (Mathematics); J. Hunter (Mathematics); A. Krener (Mathematics); E.G. Puckett (Mathematics).
