University of South Carolina Interdisciplinary Mathematics Institute
Interdisciplinary Mathematics Institute - from Foundations to Challenging Applications-
The Interdisciplinary Mathematics Institute (IMI) is an internationally recognized mathematics research center residing within the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of South Carolina. Its mission is to foster advanced research in areas of mathematics having the capacity or potential for industrial application, and for the purpose of facilitating the transfer of research results and expertise between the academic, government and industrial sectors.
The IMI addresses problems of critical importance to both the United States and the State of South Carolina. It is one of the world’s leading centers for image and signal processing — areas of significant commercial and military application — and one of the University’s main hubs for numerical computation, involving both large- and multi-scale methods. The research areas of the IMI mesh in meaningful ways with those targeted by the State and University in nanoscience, biotechnology, and telecommunications.
