DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Senior Lecturer: Stephen A. Chiappari (Department Chair)
The Department of Applied Mathematics offers only graduate degree programs and operates in a service mode at the undergraduate level. Undergraduate courses offered by the department have been designed to bridge mathematical theory and engineering applications.
