Carnegie Mellon University Mathematics Programs

Carnegie Mellon University’s mathematics programs are organized around the research strengths of the department, including both longstanding and emerging strengths in areas such as algebra and number theory, combinatorics, geometry, logic, mathematical finance, numerical analysis, probability, pure and applied analysis, and topology. Their faculty and graduate students are not only producing original mathematics but also engaging in interdisciplinary research with a number of partners across the Carnegie Mellon campus.

Ranked 16^th by QS Global Ranking in 2024, the mathematics department at Carnegie Mellon University emphasizes basic mathematical training, with specific applications and provides much of the language and quantitative underpinnings of the natural and social sciences, and mathematical scientists have been responsible for the development of many of the most commonly used tools in business management as well as for laying the foundation for computational and computer science.
