The Center for Industrial and Interdisciplinary Mathematics has three main goals: - to identify the mathematical needs of the community and address those needs by teaming USF faculty from different departments and Florida professionals with hard-working students of all majors; - to incorporate active learning approaches focused on civic engagement for non-math majors by creating research opportunities based on interdisciplinary collaboration involving mathematics; - to develop interdisciplinary (mathematics application) projects as an important part of the mathematics curriculum for non-math majors which moves mathematics education for them from its dark corner to the midst of the business/research activities inside and outside USF.
