Applied Mathematics

The applied mathematics group at Durham University uses a range of mathematical and computational tools, from asymptotic analysis and dynamical systems theory to high-performance computing, to explore a variety of problems in the physical and biological sciences. Often this is done alongside collaborators in other scientific disciplines.
