Applied Biomathematics (AB) is a private research and software firm in East Setauket, New York, which conducts scientific research and develops scientific and statistical software for teaching and research. AB's offices are located in a historical district on Long Island,[1] in the oldest settlement in Brookhaven Town, about one mile from Stony Brook University.

AB translates theoretical concepts from biology and the physical sciences into mathematical and statistical methods to quantitatively solve practical environmental, health, and engineering problems.[2] AB offers software products for use in conservation biology, resource management, healthcare, ecology, and various engineering disciplines such as risk analysis, uncertainty quantification, reliability assessments, viability analysis, and survival analysis.[3] The methods and RAMAS brand software products developed by AB are used by hundreds of academic institutions around the world, government agencies, and industrial and private labs.[4]

AB is funded primarily by research grants and contracts from the U.S. government and private industry associations.[2] AB has received several grants from the Small Business Innovation Research program,[5] including awards from the National Institutes of Health, United States Department of Agriculture, NASA, National Science Foundation, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Other project funding has come from the Electric Power Research Institute[6] and individual utility companies, healthcare, pharmaceutical and seed companies such as Pfizer, DuPont and Dow, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. About 10% of its revenues come from software sales and licensing.
