At present the most developed part of the research activity of the Department of Mathematics can be characterized as Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistical Sciences, Actuarial Science and Financial Mathematics. Following are the list of the researchers and their area of interests of our department.

Explanation of some of the active research areas in the department are as follows.
Stochastic equations are used to model real-world systems that are subject to interference in the form of randomexternal perturbations or feedback noise. This interference can have a dramatic qualitative effect on these systems and should therefore be included in any analysis of their behaviour. For example population models may be designedto reflect the unpredictable effects of disease and environment, as well as classical predator-prey, birth-death dynamics.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
The UWI, Mona ranks first in Jamaica among accredited tertiary-level programmes. In 2012, the University was again one of Jamaica’s Top 100 Employers.
