About us
The department hosts a variety of research groups in both pure and applied mathematics and is responsible for all mathematical education at KTH.
Our research activity includes a variety of international collaborations as well as tight ties with Stockholm University (via the Stockholm Mathematics Centre) and other national universities (via WASP and other projects). The proximity to the Institute Mittag-Leffler provides an important and fruitful interaction.
The department is directly responsible for the bachelor program in Engineering Mathematics (to start in 2021), two master programs: Mathematics (in collaboration with SU) and Computational and Applied Mathematics, and two Ph.D. programs under the same names.
Research areas
The department consists of four divisions:
- Analysis, Dynamics, Geometry, Number Theory and PDE
- Numerical Analysis, Optimization and Systems Theory
- Algebra, Combinatorics and Topology
- Probability, Mathematical Physics and Statistics
and one interdisciplinary area:
Seminars
The department organizes a large number of weekly seminars and colloquia:
