Statement of Purpose
A significant number of faculty at Michigan Tech conduct research involving applied mathematics and statistics. There is also an increasing need for statistical consulting across the campus and from the community. The purpose of the Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics (CAMS) is to foster collaborations among mathematicians, statisticians, scientists and engineers, provide statistical consulting for Tech faculty/students and the community, train undergraduate and graduate students, and, mostly importantly, pursue interdisciplinary proposals for external funding where computational mathematics and applied statistics play essential roles.
Mission
The mission of CAMS is to promote interdisciplinary research among mathematicians, statisticians, scientists, and engineers, and provide statistical consulting service for Michigan Tech and the community.
CAMS Offering Spring 2024 Statistical Consulting Service
The Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics (CAMS) is pleased to announce the free statistical consulting service provided to the Michigan Tech research community for spring 2024. The purpose of this service is to foster collaborations between the members of CAMS and the researchers from other centers/departments/colleges at Michigan Tech.
What we do:
- Help with experimental design (including power analysis and sample size determination).
- Help with data analysis with appropriate and clean data sets.
- Provide guidance and suggest statistical methods for data analysis and visualization.
- Provide guidance on appropriate statistical language for manuscript.
Each faculty member's research areas can be found on the department's Faculty and Staff Directory.
Consulting will be offered from 4-5 p.m. on the following Tuesdays and Wednesdays
of the semester:

The Institute of Material Processing (IMP) exists to provide, maintain, and encourage partnerships for the use of facilities supporting synthesis, processing, and the manufacture of a wide range of engineering materials and product prototypes. IMP-maintained capabilities include several variants based on melt processing, various deformation-processing strategies, particulate (powder)-based methods, and emerging capabilities in metal-based additive manufacturing. The facilities support a wide range of university activities, including production of advanced and experimental materials for faculty-led research, industry-led process development, support of instructional labs, interdisciplinary collaboration, outreach, and serves as a means to advance the “maker environment” at Michigan Tech by enabling the transition of entrepreneurial concepts into pilot-scale production. When coupled with the university's core Microfabrication Facility (MFF) and the Advanced Characterization and Morphological Analysis Laboratories (ACMAL), Michigan Tech's suite of material processing and complementing characterization facilities represent an impressive breadth of capabilities enabling advanced in-house experimentation, discovery, and development at a level and scale that is unique among universities nationally and internationally.
