Applied Mathematics

Welcome to the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The departmental roots go back to the turn of the last century when it originally was the Department of Engineering Mathematics. The Department teaches thousands of students and has a major research presence in computational and physical/biological mathematics and the statistical sciences. It has 23听tenured or听tenure track faculty.听In addition there are 10听full time instructors, more than 110 graduate students including approximately 40 teaching assistants, about 179听applied math majors, 109听statistics majors, 105听minors and a thriving Bachelor's-Accelerated Master's听program.

The Department strives to be a leading program of applied mathematics.听In 2018, the US News & World Report ranked the unit鈥檚 graduate program 14th in the nation. The unit also ranked听positively听in many measures by the听National Research Council in its 2010 decadal survey.

Our faculty have won numerous awards听including: four being named fellows of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, two being named fellows of the American Mathematical Society, two being named fellows of the American Physical Society,听two Guggenheim Fellows,听American Statistical Association Fellow,听Sloan Fellow. At CU-System: one Distinguished Professor, and at CU-Boulder: Hazel Barnes Prize, Professor of Distinction, winners of numerous CU-Boulder faculty awards, and two distinguished research lecturers.
