I am Dr. John Mordeson, Director of the Center for Mathematics of Uncertainty.

In order to support Creighton’s goal to provide research opportunities for undergraduate students, I offer a wide variety of research projects. The research projects are designed to provide students the opportunity to model problems of current and global interest. No prerequisite is needed to begin a research project The mathematics involved in the modeling process is very accessible to the student. Although the problems we will tackle can be quite complicated, the mathematics involved in the initial modeling process is fairly simple.

Although the topics available are diverse, many share a common theme. There is an overarching goal. Each such goal is made up ... Read More »
