At its core, mathematics is about the study of abstract structures. This may sound very theoretical, but it is a fascinating fact that the abstract structures that are studied in mathematics can be applied in an astounding multitude of practical problems. Mathematical sciences play an increasingly prominent role in the natural sciences and technology, and in society as a whole, highlighting the need for a high competence in mathematical sciences in order to succeed in the job market.
Our faculty members conduct research in a wide range of theoretical and applied mathematics, including statistics and computational mathematics. Pull-down the menus for more information about our study programs and research groups.
