Learn at a mathematical powerhouse. We offer strong and flexible programs at all degree levels.

Students majoring in mathematics take courses in the logical foundations of mathematics, the calculus sequence, matrix algebra, and discrete mathematics. Majors choose from a concentration of applied, traditional, or actuarial mathematics. Both the BA and the BS in mathematics will allow entry to advanced studies or career opportunities as diverse as the fields to which mathematics is applied. The metro region of Washington, D.C. is a particularly fertile area for related job opportunities, including consulting, teaching, and government.

Applied & Computational Mathematics seminar: Spectral minimal partitions, nodal deficiency and the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map

Sep 29, 2023/1:30 - 2:30 PM

Speaker: Jeremy Marzuola, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Title: Spectral minimal partitions, nodal deficiency and the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map Abstract: The oscillation of a Laplacian eigenfunction gives a great deal of information about the manifold on which it is defined. This oscillation can be encoded in the nodal deficiency
