Research profile
In mathematics, research is conducted in the field in both applied mathematics and mathematics education (didactics).
Applied Analysis
The research is driven by problem formulations inspired by authentic applications, with a focus on applied analysis (partial differential equations, multiscale modeling and simulation, functional analysis, kinetic theory and applications, and error-correcting codes).

Mathematics Education
The research in mathematics education conducted at the department primarily focuses on digital tools in the teaching and learning of mathematics, teachers’ professional development, and mathematics education for younger students. Several projects are carried out in collaboration with teachers at different levels of the school system and concern the design of learning situations and tasks in mathematics, including a focus on students’ mathematical reasoning. The research is mainly conducted in interdisciplinary groups, both within Karlstad University and through well-established collaborations with research groups at other universities.
