Research Programs

1. Mathematical Physics and Engineering

Studies the mathematical structure and techniques in physical sciences and engineering, that covers areas of applied mathematics such as fracture and continuum mechanics and fluid dynamics, as well as quantum sciences and relativity. Research areas include fluid convection, flows in nanofluid and porous media, foundations of quantum theory, and other related topics.

 

2. Computational Mathematics and Scientific Computing

Covers the intersection of mathematics with applications in other sciences and explores the development of mathematical framework and computational tools in solving mathematical or scientific problem. Research areas include numerical analysis, mathematical modeling, optimization, computational finance, and other related topics.

 

3. Mathematical Values in Society

Values in mathematics are derived from the philosophical epistemology. In the epistemology, cognitive knowledge is classified into three main categories: metaphysics, mathematics and natural sciences. The classification is generally described by integrating the intellectual and transmitted sciences. In the classification, metaphysics is the ultimate destination for all branches of intellectual sciences. The implicit objective of metaphysical ultimate is considered as values in the scheme. The mathematical values in society describe the intrinsic nature of the paradigm in teaching-learning of the subject in society.

 

4. Pedagogical Developments in Mathematics

  • Studies related to theories and practices in mathematics teaching for the enhancement of mathematical understanding. Among the approaches to be investigated are constructivism, mastery, collaborative, contextual learning, and problem-based learning and others.
  • Application of technological tools developed for teaching and learning of mathematics, designing of mathematical learning system, assessment in mathematics instructions, social, ethical and human issues related to use of technology in mathematics instruction.
