Department Information

American University provides an excellent combination of resources for advanced education in the mathematical sciences. Undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered in mathematics, mathematics education and statistics.
	Faculty research interests include real and complex analysis, numerical analysis, geometry, number theory, history of mathematics, decision theory, statistical computing, mathematics education, applied statistics, time series analysis, genetics, and multivariate analysis.    In addition to making significant research contributions, our faculty have a strong commitment to teaching and working with students. Our location in the nation's capital makes possible graduate training that effectively integrates a solid foundation in mathematical and statistical theory with direct
participation in research and applications, often arising from practical experience with problems of national scope. Departmental ties to various governmental agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, and National Institutes of Health offer students exposure to varied practical, civic, and even cultural issues that require skills in the formation, analysis, and solution of quantitative problems.
