goals
To initially train a researcher in mathematics, providing them with knowledge in fundamental areas of mathematics and a specialization in one of the two lines that the program has: Numerical Analysis or Dynamical Systems, which will enable them to collaborate in disciplinary research groups or continue doctoral studies, from an ethical action committed to respect for the person and the environment.
Applicant Profile
The program is aimed at professionals and/or academics in mathematical sciences or related areas holding a Bachelor's degree or equivalent and who seek to enhance their academic training and specialized scientific preparation in areas of applied mathematics.
Graduate profile
Graduates of the Master's in Applied Mathematics will be qualified to contribute knowledge in fundamental areas of mathematics to scientific research teams or to continue doctoral studies in their area of specialization, from an ethical approach committed to respecting the person and the environment, based on Christian anthropology.
Lines of investigation
Numerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations.
This research area focuses on the design, mathematical analysis, and computational implementation of numerical schemes that approximate the solution of problems modeled by partial differential equations, originating from fields such as electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and other continuum mechanics problems. Currently, this research area is supported by four faculty members who, in the last five years, have authored 31 Web of Science publications and led five Fondecyt research projects, three of which are currently underway.
Dynamic Systems.
This research area studies differential and difference equations, where the solutions change over time. Because of this characteristic, dynamical systems provide efficient mathematical tools for modeling diverse processes in science and engineering. A key feature of dynamical systems is their profound interaction with other areas of mathematics and knowledge, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and economics, among others. Currently, this research area is supported by three faculty members who, in the last five years, have collectively authored nine ISI publications and are currently leading one Fondecyt research project as principal investigator.
