• In recognition of the Mathematics Department's excellent teaching, 14 faculty members have been awarded membership in the NC State Academy of Outstanding Teachers. The Department's summer research programs for undergraduates are nationally prominent and were instrumental in our selection by the American Mathematical Society for its 2010 Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department.
  • Research strengths of the Department include the core mathematical areas of algebra, topology, and geometry, especially their connections to combinatorics, symbolic computation, and mathematical physics; core areas of applied mathematics, including matrix analysis, numerical analysis, scientific computation, probability, optimal control, ordinary, partial, and stochastic differential equations, and dynamical systems; and applications of mathematics to biology, finance, and industrial problems. Annual research funding exceeds $3 million and supports numerous research assistantships for undergraduate and graduate students. Seven of our faculty have been honored as Fellows of national societies.
