Mathematics and statistics are the languages of modern discovery. Through them, we decode nature, model complex systems and make sense of an increasingly data-driven world. These disciplines come together in a unified intellectual community dedicated to advancing knowledge and solving problems that matter.
Our faculty publish in the world's leading journals, secure support from the NSF, NIH, Society of Actuaries, Simons Foundation and EU Horizon programs and collaborate with partners across science, engineering, medicine and industry. Their research spans the full spectrum of the mathematical and statistical sciences — from abstract algebra and analytic number theory to optimization, Bayesian inference and mathematical biology. Uniting these diverse pursuits is a shared commitment to advancing knowledge at the highest level and to mentoring the scholars who will carry it forward.
Our research falls into these areas:
- Algebra, analysis and number theory
- Geometry, topology and dynamical systems
- Mathematical biology and partial differential equations
- Optimization and algorithm design
- Mathematics education research
- Statistics, data science and Bayesian methods
- Actuarial science and quantitative risk
