• The applied mathematician develops and analyzes mathematical models of physical and biological phenomena and engineering systems interprets solutions to mathematical problems and uses the results to identify relationships, patterns, and the effects of altering one or more variables or modeling assumptions. Many of the courses in the program illustrate how mathematics can be used to predict the behavior of physical, biological, and engineering systems.
  • The Master of Science in Applied Mathematics, with its areas of specialization in analysis, applied mathematics, computational methods, and mathematical biology is designed to serve the needs of students who may be interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in the mathematical, physical, or biological sciences.
  • The program also strengthens the quantitative and analytical skills of students with a baccalaureate degree who are planning to work in industry, commerce, or education, as well as practicing engineers and others already employed in industry and commerce.
