Members of the faculty are also directly involved in applications, among others in biology, ecology, fluid dynamics, geosciences, materials science, optics and soft-condensed matter physics. Some of the principal research directions of applied mathematics pursued at UMass are: mathematical biology and ecology; numerical analysis and scientific computing, including methods for deterministic and stochastic PDE, as well as molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods; stochastic modelling, probability theory, stochastic processes and equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics; Nonlinear PDE, harmonic analysis, dynamical systems, ergodic theory and mathematical physics. The Center for Applied Mathematics and Computation supports the activities of faculty members and graduate students involved in research and teaching in applied mathematics and scientific computation. The Center also supports a research seminar series in Applied Mathematics and Computation.
