About the course

The recipient of a PhD degree will have demonstrated that he or she can successfully perform original research in a specific mathematical area. To receive this degree, a student must maintain a B average over 72 credit hours of course work and pass departmental preliminary and comprehensive examinations. However, the defining requirement for this degree is the writing of a dissertation embodying a substantial piece of original mathematical research. The biological world stands as the next great frontier for mathematical modeling and analysis. This group studies complex systems and dynamics arising in various biological phenomena. Areas of interest include neuroscience, movement disorders, immunology, cellular function, and genetic regulation. The groups uses a wide array of approaches, from applied mathematics and nonlinear analysis, including computer simulations, bifurcation theory, perturbation methods, and mathematical model building, to rigorous analysis.
