Vetenskapsrådets utvärdering Vetenskapsrådet har under 2010 utvärderat matematikområdet. Matematik som VR har finansierat under perioden 2002 2006. The committee finds that the working conditions of mathematicians and of university researchers in general are very difficult in Sweden 3
Vetenskapsrådets utvärdering The committee finds that Swedish mathematics is strong in many areas; including mathematical analysis with its long historical tradition, an area that for many years was the dominating field of research. 4
Vetenskapsrådets utvärdering Numerical analysis has developed into a very strong field, but the subject is often considered to be part of computer science rather than of mathematics, something the committee believes lead to missed collaborations. Applied mathematics has become more prominent over latter years, and the committee judges that great progress has been made. The committee furthermore recommends a buildup of competence in areas related to biology. 5
Vetenskapsrådets utvärdering In some areas, such as statistics, improvements are urgently needed. Very little of the funding in mathematics by the Swedish Research Council is supporting research in core areas of statistics. This understanding was reinforced by comments regarding the difficulty in finding staff needed to teach statistics at some universities. The need to develop core statistics would seem to be a priority. Biostatistics is of the highest relevance to research in the medical sciences and further development in this area should be a high priority. 6
Vetenskapsrådets utvärdering The committee was very concerned about the situation of the Institute Mittag-Leffler. There is a great danger of losing this national treasure, and the committee strongly urges that addressing the shortterm financial shortfall and the long-term financial stability of the Institute be given the highest priority. 7
Sagt om Umeå In analysis, outstanding research groups exist in Chalmers/Gothenburg, KTH (Stockholm) and Uppsala, with other departments e.g. in Lund or Linköping having small groups and Umeå or Stockholm University having strong individuals in the area. 8
Sagt om Umeå Some attempts to build research strength in nonlinear PDEs have suffered from departure of young faculty (Lund) but others (Umeå, Chalmers) hold great promise. 9
Sagt om Umeå Numerical linear algebra strong in Linköping and Umeå (CS). Overall rating, the applied mathematics in Umeå is very good to excellent. 10
Sagt om Umeå Overall, Discrete Mathematics in Sweden is Outstanding. KTH is Outstanding. Uppsala is Excellent to Outstanding. There are also good smaller groups at Chalmers, Umeå and Linköping University. 11
