research is both fundamental and applied in nature, and is often inspired by
technical applications. The department plays an active role in translating
research results into concrete, practical applications. It maintains intensive
contacts with other TU Delft departments, the major technological institutes,
and the research laboratories of major companies. Within its own subject field,
the department provides teaching for the Applied Mathematics BSc and MSc
programmes, and also contributes to the teaching of mathematics courses within
other academic programmes at the TU Delft and within national programmes such
as “MasterMath”.
The
Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics consists of six research groups:
Analysis, Mathematical Physics, Numerical Analysis, Applied Probability,
Statistics, and Optimisation. More information about the Delft Institute of
