The Department of Mathematics is committed to working with other departments, universities and institutions to find interdisciplinary solutions to the world’s pressing problems. The department participates in several interdisciplinary research centers that help accomplish this goal.

The Center for Research in Scientific Computation (CRSC), which is housed in the Mathematics Department and directed by University Professor of Mathematics H. T. Banks, is an NC State multidisciplinary center that fosters research in scientific computing and provides a focal point for research in computational science, engineering and applied mathematics.  Graduate education and supervision of postdoctoral research are core activities for CRSC faculty and staff.
