Four areas of math and statistics, under one roof
Whether you want to apply math to science or engineering, search for a deeper understanding of theoretical mathematics, develop effective ways to teach mathematics, or make sense of data with statistics, we have something for you.
Experimental investigation of ant traffic under crowded conditions
From humans driving on the highway, to ants running on a trail, the main challenge faced by all collective systems is how to prevent traffic jams in crowded environments. Sebastien Motsch and his team research how ants avoid the formation of traffic jams at high density.
Urban growth gets scientific
Alex Mahalov and his interdisciplinary ASU team create a model to predict land use, climate effects and even potential profit of farming in cities.
To mask or not to mask? Going out in public during the COVID-19 pandemic
ASU researchers develop a compartmental model for assessing the community-wide impact of mask use by the general public.
Using machine learning methods to develop a short tree-based adaptive classification test

Actuarial science - The analysis of risk
Actuaries are the analytical backbone of our society’s financial security programs. They are also certified professionals who have gone through a series of examinations to obtain a professional designation. As a career, it is consistently ranked among the top professions in terms of work environment, employment outlook, job security, and salary. ASU has been honored with the 2021 and 2018 Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) University Awards, recognizing schools doing exemplary work in preparing students for a career in the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry.
Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging
Equity, inclusion and a sense of belonging are core values of the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. As stated in ASU's charter, our success is measured not by whom we exclude, but rather by whom we include and how they succeed, advancing research and discovery of public value in the mathematical and statistical sciences and broadening access to quality STEM education.
