The Unit for Advances in Mathematics and its Applications (UAIM) exists within the College of Science and Technology(COST) at Georgia Southern University for the purpose of fostering advanced research in all areas of mathematics which have the potential for education and applications, graduate and undergraduate research, for links with interdisciplinary institutes, for links with departments across the college, and for the purpose of facilitating the transfer of knowledge between the academic and industrial sectors. The unit currently has affiliate members from departments in the college; The Department of Mathematical Sciences, The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology and the Department of Physics as well as members from outside the university (by courtesy of COST) who also serve as advisory members to the board.

UAIM has an advisory board with internal board members include Chairs of affiliate COST departments.Our external members are distingished scientists from top rate institutions.
