The Center for Applied Mathematics (CAM) is an endowed center designed to increase student awareness of the applications of applied mathematics. The CAM supports student research and opportunities through the Summer Research Program, the CAM Industrial Opportunity (CAMIO) program and student-oriented colloquia and seminars. Students gain the training and communication skills needed for careers as problem solvers in the mathematical sciences.
As part of the Mathematics Department, the CAM draws on the varied expertise of the mathematics faculty, and works with outside organizations to design and direct student projects. Industry partners of mathematics can provide input and support to the CAM in the form of projects, student internships, undergraduate elective course design and research funding.
