Applied Mathematics is one of the most diverse graduate fields, comprising faculty members from a wide range of disciplines such as biometry, chemical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, computer science, economics, electrical engineering, management, mathematics, mechanical and aerospace engineering, operations research, physics, and theoretical and applied mechanics. Graduate students in CAM can work with any affiliated faculty member. Students graduating from CAM go on to academic post docs, assistant professorships, industry, and government labs.

CAM faculty members work in the following principal areas of research:

Analysis
Applied logic and theory of computing
Computational mathematics
Discrete and combinatorial mathematics
Information and control theory
Mathematical biology
Mathematical finance and economics
Mechanics and dynamics

The Center for Applied Mathematics has a network of Sun workstations consisting of high-end Sparcs including several Ultrasparcs. Other machines in the network include PCs. The center also has access to the Cornell Theory Center supercomputing facilities. CAM workstations offer a wide range of mathematical software, including Maple, MATLAB, and Mathematica. The facility is used by graduate students, faculty and other researchers for many aspects of their work.

All students in CAM are required to complete a graduate minor in mathematics and another in an application area of their choice. CAM offers an applied mathematics minor for graduate students in other fields.
