Students, Faculty Collaborate on Telecommunications Research, continued

This is but one of the several ongoing research projects in the Department of Applied Mathematics. Supported by a $2.5 million VIGRE grant from the National Science Foundation and another $1.25 million CCHE Excellence grant, the department has made great strides in encouraging undergraduate majors, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty to participate together in research projects. In addition to the nonlinear waves problem described above, other areas of interest include the interface between ordered systems and chaos, recurrence patterns in waves, fast algorithms and computational methods for fluid flow within the eye.

The Department of Applied Mathematics offers both a bachelor of science degree and a minor in applied math to students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, as well as MS and PhD degrees through the Graduate School. The department's 15 faculty members teach over 3,000 students each year and carry out numerous research projects. The Department of Applied Mathematics is working to foster mathematical knowledge, computational and communication skills in all of its students through coursework, internships, research and service. amath.colorado.edu/appm
