柯朗数学科学研究所（CIMS）是纽约大学（NYU）艺术与科学学院下属的一个独立部门。作为一个在数学和计算机科学等领域进行研究和高等教育的机构，它被认为是世界上最著名和最有声望的应用数学研究所之一。它的名字来源于其创始人著名数学家理查德·柯朗。
在U.S. News大学专业排名中，柯朗所的应用数学连续多年排名全美第一。 除此之外，它也以其在纯数学领域中的广泛研究而闻名，如偏微分方程、概率论、几何以及其他应用数学领域，例如计算生物学、计算神经学和金融数学。柯朗所拥有18名美国国家科学院成员（超过美国的任何其他数学系）和五名美国国家工程院成员。
柯朗所直接归属纽约大学的教务长和校长管辖，与其他院系属于平级机构，具有很强的独立性。研究所内部本科课程和研究生课程都是独立于纽约大学运行的，理论上来说，它与纽约大学文理学院和纽约大学艺术和科学研究生学院不属于同一系统内。
应用数学实验室是一个跨学科的研究实验室，其研究方向跨越应用数学、物理和生物学，并使用实验观察和测量工具，以及数学建模、仿真和分析。实验实验室占据了默瑟街251号沃伦·韦弗楼一楼的一套房间，这里离百老汇只有一个街区；实验室于1998年春开放，在爱德华·a·西尔斯遗产和美孚基金会的资助下进行了一次空间改造后，该实验室加入了数学系内一个的实验设施小组。
四名教授被授予美国国家科学奖章，其中一人被授予京都奖，九人获得美国国家科学基金会的职业奖。著名数学家Peter Lax,S. R. Srinivasa Varadhan,Mikhail Gromov,Louis Nirenberg 分别获得2005, 2007, 2009和2015年的阿贝尔奖。另外，Louis Nirenberg也在2010年国际数学家大会上获得最高终身成就奖。
The Crown Institute for Mathematical Sciences (CIMS) is an independent division within the School of Arts and Sciences at New York University (NYU). As an institution for research and higher education in fields such as mathematics and computer science, it is regarded as one of the most famous and prestigious institutes of applied mathematics in the world. It takes its name from its founder, the famous mathematician Richard Crown.
In the U.S. News ranking of college majors, Crown has been ranked No. 1 in Applied mathematics for many years. In addition, it is also known for its extensive research in pure mathematical fields such as partial differential equations, probability theory, geometry, and other applied mathematical fields such as computational biology, computational neuroscience, and financial mathematics. Crown has 18 members of the National Academy of Sciences (more than any other mathematics department in the United States) and five members of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute is directly under the jurisdiction of the provost and president of New York University. It is a parallel institution with other departments and has strong independence. The Institute's internal undergraduate and graduate programs are run independently of NYU and are theoretically separate from the NYU College of Arts and Sciences and the NYU Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
The Applied Mathematics Laboratory is an interdisciplinary research laboratory whose interests span applied mathematics, physics, and biology, and uses tools for experimental observation and measurement, as well as mathematical modeling, simulation, and analysis. The lab occupies a first-floor suite in Warren Weaver House at 251 Mercer Street, a block from Broadway. The laboratory opened in the spring of 1998 after a space makeover with a grant from the Edward A. Sears Estate and the Mobil Foundation. The laboratory joins a small but sophisticated group of laboratory facilities within the Mathematics Department.
Four professors have been awarded the National Medal of Science, one of them the Kyoto Prize, and nine have received career awards from the National Science Foundation. Renowned mathematicians Peter Lax,S. R. Srinivasa Varadhan,Mikhail Gromov, and Louis Nirenberg won the Abel Prize in 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2015, respectively. In addition, Louis Nirenberg received the highest lifetime achievement award, the Chen Sheng-shen Award, at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians.
