The Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences
has a strong emphasis on research, both internally, and collaboratively. Internally, our faculty members
have formed several collaborative research groups in Applied Mathematics,
Computer Science and Statistics. Additionally, our faculty members are active in many of the
Research Centers that exist on campus to support interdisciplinary research.
These research efforts have included both undergraduate and graduate students depending on need and interest.
Research areas within the department include scattering theory, numerical analysis,
mathematical finance, symbolic computing, wave propagation, biostatistics, seismic data processing,
computer networking, databases, graphics, visualization, educational assessment and mobile computing.
The departmental research groups include
- Assessment and Evaluation in Education - a mathematics education group formed to improve the
methodologies used by evaluators in the assessment of educational interventions in the sciences.
- Mobile Computing & Networking - a computer science group formed to research ad hoc networks.
- MCS Statistics - a statistics group whose general interests lie in the area of the application of
statistics to the physical sciences.
