The department has 4 full-time faculty members in Applied Mathematics. The applied mathematics program at the University of Montana is based in the areas of Dynamical Systems, Inverse Problems, Uncertainty Quantification, Asymptotic Analysis, Numerical Linear Algebra, and Mathematical and Computational Biology. Additionally, our group administers the Data Science Program. Other faculty in Mathematics and Statistics interact with the group, as their research interests overlap with the applied mathematicians’. The applied mathematicians also collaborate with faculty members at UM in Chemistry, Division of Biological Sciences, Skaggs School of Pharmacy, Montana Neuroscience Institute, Physics, Wildlife Biology, Forestry and other departments. Computers are used extensively in all of the Applied Mathematics courses. Research in Applied Mathematics at UM is supported through funding from various sources, both in the government and private sectors. Faculty members in the group are active in various national societies such as The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, specifically in Uncertainty Quantification, Linear Algebra, and Applied Dynamical Systems Activity Groups.
