Center for Applied Mathematics and Computation. The center involves faculty members and graduate students in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics who are interested in research and instruction in applied mathematics and scientific computation. The Center supports a research seminar series, "Applied Analysis and Computation," and an applications-oriented seminar series, "Industrial Mathematics". The M.S. Program in Applied Mathematics, a two-year professional degree program for students who seek industrial employment, is also coordinated by the Center.
Center for Geometry, Analysis, Numerics, and Graphics (GANG). The center is a computational laboratory using interactive scientific graphics and numerical computation as tools in studying geometric interface problems and other nonlinear variational problems that arise in the physical sciences. GANG creates a research environment in support of pure and applied mathematics and a wide range of interdisciplinary research (with the departments of Computer Science, Polymer Science, and Chemistry). The weekly GANG seminar brings in outstanding mathematicians from throughout the world, and also provides a forum for the students affiliated with GANG to present their work and learn about the work of others. Faculty members most actively involved with GANG include Kusner, Meeks, Norman, Pedit, and Whitaker.
Research Computing Facility (RCF) The Research Computing Facility (RCF) provides computing facilities to the research faculty and graduate students within the department. All of the computer systems run the Unix operating system, and have network and electronic mail connections to the campuswide network.
Statistical Consulting Center (SCC) This center involves a number of our faculty, and offers a full range of statistical services for clients both inside and outside the University. Among other things, the center provides an opportunity for graduate students to complement traditional studies with exposure to real-world problems involving the statistical analysis of data. UMASTR Mathematics Lab This lab is located on the 16th floor of the Dubois Library. The lab contains over thirty Power Macs, and four HP LaserJet printers in three rooms. UMASTR is a "semi-public" facility that is open to the entire University community. However, students in certain designated Math/Stat courses will have priority over all other users.
