The Department of Mathematics has an internationally recognized faculty and an active postdoctoral program, conducting research in both pure and applied mathematics. Research areas include algebraic coding theory, algebraic geometry, algebraic K-theory, combinatorics, commutative algebra, control theory, differential equations, dynamical systems, functional integration, geometric group theory, low-dimensional topology, mathematical biology, mathematical modeling, mathematics education, operator algebras, partial differential equations, and semigroup theory.
See our areas section for a more detailed look at our research.

Allan Peterson is a co-author of this textbook on ordinary differential equations.
This book introduces many important topics associated with differential equations. The
first three chapters cover the standard material that should be taught in a one semester
course on ordinary differential equations at the upper undergraduate level. The next
five chapters cover various topics that could be taught during a second semester devoted
to differential equations. For more information see Allan Peterson's webpage or Springer's webpage for this book.
