The Research Unit of Geometric Analysis and Mathematical Physics integrates key areas of research in mathematical analysis and mathematical physics. Analysis is one of the oldest areas of mathematics and remains one of the leading branches of pure mathematics. The methods of analysis are used in most mathematical applications, for instance in information technology. During the past two decades mathematical physics has emerged as one of the most significant and respected branches of mathematics. The problems addressed are usually central to physics, and the methods applied are mathematical, most typically methods of mathematical analysis. Research conducted at the unit brings together top level research expertise in Finland.
