The goals of applied mathematics are to introduce mathematical methods and theories in already existing areas in science and technology, as well as to develop tools for solving new problems.
Mathematics has a natural and important place in many of Linköping University's educational programs, especially the master's engineering programs, and the department's teaching largely consists of basic, as well as advanced, courses in mathematics for these students.
The Division of Applied Mathematics conducts both interdisciplinary and applied research in many different mathematical areas such as analysis, algebra, geometry, topology, combinatorics and mathematics didactics.
