Mathematical Sciences Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A group in applied mathematics and mathematical sciences that solves real-world problems with mathematics.
AboutAbout the lab
Putting "mathematics changes the world" into practice
The Mathematical Sciences group pursues research in applied mathematics and mathematical sciences that connect with the other sciences.
Like Boolean algebra and Turing's computing machine, mathematics has changed the workings of society while asking what thinking is.
Building on partial differential equations, ergodic theory, nonlinear dynamical systems, and probability theory, each faculty member and graduate student pursues a theme of their own.
Another feature is the wide range of styles, from theoretical research to research that uses computers to help analyze phenomena.
Key terms
- Applied mathematics
- A field connected with the other sciences that tries to solve real-world problems with mathematics. Also called mathematical sciences
- Ergodic theory
- A theory that examines systems that change over time through their long-term behavior
- Reaction-diffusion system
- A set of equations describing how substances spread while reacting with one another

ResearchResearch themes
The lab adopted international trends in applied mathematics and mathematical sciences early on and has advanced its research accordingly. Its styles vary widely, from theoretical research to research that uses computers to assist in analyzing phenomena.
*Illustrative imagePartial Differential Equations and Mathematical Models
Centered on applications of spectral analysis based on partial differential equations, the lab deals with wave phenomena, the optical properties of materials, inverse problems, and reaction-diffusion systems and mathematical models.
*Illustrative imageErgodic Theory and Complex Systems
Based on ergodic theory, the lab works on topics such as theories that statistically predict how complex systems will evolve.
*Illustrative imageNonlinear Dynamical Systems and Life Sciences
Based on nonlinear dynamical systems, the lab studies subjects such as life sciences, complex systems, chaos, and time series analysis.
*Illustrative imageProbability Theory and Statistical Mechanics
Based on probability theory, the lab works on statistical mechanics, biophysics, and mathematical physics.
