The graduate program offers comprehensive training and research opportunities across diverse areas of applied mathematics. This wide-ranging approach represents a key advantage of our program, mirrored in our course offerings. The Division of Applied Mathematics focuses on research, teaching, and academic excellence. Faculty members conduct investigations spanning practical applications and algorithmic challenges to fundamental mathematical inquiries. Our inherently interdisciplinary work encompasses dynamical systems, partial differential equations, control theory, probability, stochastic processes, numerical analysis, scientific computing, fluid dynamics, computational biology, statistics, and pattern recognition. Approximately 50 Ph.D. candidates participate in our applied mathematics program, frequently collaborating on cross-disciplinary initiatives. We maintain joint research ventures with departments including Biology, Life Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Neuroscience, and Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School.
A Bachelors' degree is required, but the area does not have to be in mathematics. Applicants are expected to have a strong background in mathematics.
