Departmental Research

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. For a partial list of recent grants faculty have recieved, vist our grants section.

We have hosted numerous programs and events. Some of these are:

Allan Donsig: Real analysis with real applications
Allan Donsig is co-author of this innovative new analysis text, which provides an introduction both to real analysis, covering all of the standard topics, and to a range of important applications that require this material. More than half the book is a series of essentially independent chapters covering topics from Fourier series and polynomial approximation to discrete dynamical systems and convex optimization. For more information, see Allan Donsig's webpage or Prentice-Hall's webpage for the book.
