Applied Math Department

The Applied Mathematics Department is housed within the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz and the discipline intersects many fields such as physical sciences, engineering, biology, biomedicine, and sociology. Applied mathematicians develop analytical and numerical tools and use them to explain the dynamic world around us and to guide the engineering of future technology. The department is an intellectual hub for applied mathematics in a changing world by bringing in students, faculty, and visitors with a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and expertise.
