Recent projects led to two patents and a computational model that outperforms the current industry standard. The Mathematics Clinic works closely with its counterpart, the Engineering Clinic at Harvey Mudd College. The creative resources of the Mathematics Clinic often far exceed those normally available even to a fairly large organization. The Claremont Colleges' mathematics programs stress creative thinking. This means that students and faculty members are exceptionally well equipped to address problems.
Many faculty members have considerable background in industry.
Students receive credit for their work in the Mathematics Clinic. The areas of expertise of The Claremont Colleges faculty members who participate in the Mathematics Clinic cover an impressive range of mathematical applications. Non-linear analysis, chaos, applied mathematics. Dynamical systems, stochastic processes, applications of dynamical systems to instrument modeling, sound generation, interactive composition. Numerical analysis, Monte Carlo methods, fractional calculus, transport and diffusion applications.
