Local data

Some data is managed directly on the math.duke.edu site as there is no external source for this data. The following field can be edited by individual faculty members:

  • Research Areas: A select list to indicate those research areas in which you are active. The options selected for the 'Research Areas' will determine where you appear in the research section of the site (http://math.duke.edu/research).
