This section describes research interests of faculty which do not naturally fit into one of the previous areas.
Faculty:
Wayne Powell (currently Dean of the Graduate College): Universal
algebra, i.e., classes of algebras carrying an inherent order structure, arising
naturally from functional analysis; in particular, descriptions of so-called
``universal'' objects such as free algebras and free products of
algebras and universal embedding properties of these objects.
Marvin Keener (currently Executive Vice President, Office of
Academic Affairs):
Differential equations, dynamical systems, and applied mathematics.
Dave Witte: Combinatorics, particularly applications of
group theory to problems in graph theory.
