Department of Mathematical Sciences
Pure and Applied Analysis

The study of analysis provides a basic understanding of qualitative and quantitative problem-solving techniques, the ability to analyze new areas of interest, and the ability to interact with colleagues from other disciplines in a problem-solving situation. Modern applications of analysis include biomedical modeling, image analysis, robotic control, ecology, environmental modeling, and financial engineering.
