The Stanford Department of Mathematics emphasizes applied mathematics, covering scientific computing, stochastic modeling, and applied analysis. Key research areas include signal processing, compressed sensing, imaging, efficient numerical methods, and analyzing physical phenomena in random environments. While the Mathematics Department leads this work, applied mathematics also thrives in other Stanford units like the Statistics Department, the Institute for Computational Mathematics and Engineering, and the Center for Turbulence Research, as well as across science and engineering disciplines. This interplay between theoretical and practical applications sustains the vitality of Stanford's applied mathematics community.
