The Department of Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Case Western Reserve University is an active center for mathematical and statistical research. Faculty members conduct research in algebra, analysis, applied mathematics, asymptotic statistics, bayesian statistics, convexity, dynamical systems, geometry, imaging, inverse problems, life sciences applications, mathematical biology, modeling, numerical analysis, probability, scientific computing, spatial statistics, stochastic systems and other areas.
The department offers a variety of programs leading to both undergraduate and graduate degrees in traditional and applied mathematics and statistics. Undergraduate degrees are Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in mathematics, Bachelor of Science in applied mathematics, and Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in statistics. Together with the Department of Physics, it offers a specialized joint Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Physics. Graduate degrees are Master of Science in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or Statistics, and Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. The Integrated BS/MS program allows a student to earn a Bachelor of Science in either Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or Statistics and a Master’s degree from the department or another department in five years. The department, in cooperation with the college’s teacher licensure program and John Carroll University, offers a program for individuals interested in pre-college teaching.

MAMS Student Daniel Kessler Awarded First Place in the Research ShowCASE+Intersections Symposium
Congratulations to BS/MS student, Daniel Kessler, for earning 1st place in the Research ShowCASE+Intersections Symposium that took place Friday April 19, 2019. Held in conjunction with the Spring Intersections, Research ShowCASE provides evidence of how research brings value to our community and the world. Exhibits of real-world applications, critical insights, and creative and intellectual activities are on view highlighting the full range of research at CWRU. Daniel works with Dr. Weihong Guo under an REU NSF project, conducting work on High Dimensional Tensor Deblurring. Daniel will graduate this May. Congratulations!
MAMS Undergraduate Student Featured in the Daily
MAMS undergraduate student Raul Arturo-Hernadez-Gonzalez was recently featured in the The Daily’s “5 questions with” series. During his four years at Case Western Reserve University, Raul has been highly involved, leaving his mark in a variety of ways as a student leader. Check out the article here.
ASA DataFest 2019 @ CWRU
The department hosted the ASA DataFest 2019 @ CWRU on April 12-14. We would like to thank all those who helped make this event a great experience for everyone. Eleven teams persisted to the end and presented their findings on Sunday afternoon for a panel of judges. Congratulations to all presenting teams on impressive analysis and teamwork and engaging presentations.
