For many real-world processes, like financial market prices, molecular motion and weather patterns, seemingly random fluctuations are intrinsic to their observed behaviour. Understanding the ...

The minor in Applied Mathematics was developed to provide in-depth training in mathematical techniques and computational methods well beyond the training usually received by science and engineering ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

Finite mathematics blends algebra, probability, matrices, and finance to tackle real-world problems in business, economics, and social sciences. It’s a go-to course for students seeking applicable, ...

Randomness is inherent to real world problems so faculty research in this area includes the development and application of probabilistic tools to model, predict, and analyze randomness in applications ...

Jean-Pierre Fouque, professor of statistics and applied probability, and director of the Center for Research in Financial Mathematics and Statistics at UC Santa Barbara, has been named a Fellow of the ...

In school, we are trained to think that math problems always have one correct answer. But this is not necessarily true for problems dealing with probability, if the method used to reach the described ...
