Welcome to Applied Mathematics

Ottawa-Carleton Institute of Mathematics

University of Ottawa, Carleton University

In our group, we use mathematics, in particular differential equations and dynamical systems, to understand and predict many different phenomena in other areas of science.

How can we make fuel cells more efficient?
Why are there so many species in this world?
What happens during cardiac arrhythmia?
How can we prevent the spread of infectious diseases?

Interested? Take a look at our websites and come to the seminar.
