The study of mathematics is fascinating, and even when done purely for the sake of math itself, can lead to any number of possibilities in industry or academia.
At Stevens, the Master of Science in Mathematics program approaches inquiry and research with a focus on pure mathematics. Pure mathematics investigates fundamental topics in math theory, analysis and calculation with no direct application to other disciplines. Although this program is rigorous and contained, Stevens still offers collaborative, cross-disciplinary opportunities through research and electives. Subjects examined throughout this program include complex algebra, probability, combinatorial analysis, topology and stochastic processes.
Graduates of the master's programs often continue into the doctoral program, or pursue a future in academic research.
