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 23Ìýtenured orÌýtenure track faculty.ÌýIn addition there are 10Ìýfull time instructors, more than 110 graduate students including approximately 40 teaching assistants, about 179Ìýapplied math majors, 109Ìýstatistics majors, 105Ìýminors and a thriving Bachelor's-Accelerated Master'sÌýprogram.

The Department strives to be a leading program of applied mathematics.ÌýIn 2018, the US News & World Report ranked the unit’s graduate program 14th in the nation. The unit also rankedÌýpositivelyÌýin many measures by theÌýNational Research Council in its 2010 decadal survey.

Our faculty have won numerous awardsÌýincluding: 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,Ìýtwo Guggenheim Fellows,ÌýAmerican Statistical Association Fellow,ÌýSloan Fellow. At ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä-System: one Distinguished Professor, and at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä-Boulder: Hazel Barnes Prize, Professor of Distinction, winners of numerous ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä-Boulder faculty awards, and two distinguished research lecturers.
