Research

The research at CAM can be broadly classified into three broad topics, Differential equations and related areas, Probability theory and related fields and computational sciences. Differential equations arise in various contexts. Most of the models arising in engineering sciences or in natural sciences are in terms of differential equations. Differential equations also play a big role in other branches of mathematics like geometry. The mathematics involved in the study of these equations vary quite a bit from one to the other. Mathematicians at CAM work on developing mathematical tools to analyze various partial differential equations.

Probability is another important branch of applied mathematics and at CAM research is carried out in stochastic partial differential equations,  theory of Gaussian processes and their relationships with geometry, Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems,  Symbolic Dynamics and related areas of Statistical Physics and Probability, Random polynomials, etc.

CAM also does research in computational sciences including Geophysical fluid dynamics, Scientific computing which include developing efficient algorithms and also applications to various other fields like monsoon.
