Distinctive features include:

• Project-oriented approach in all courses - real-world industrial problems motivate coursework
• Team problem-solving practica emulate an industrial microcosm in which undergrads, grads, faculty, and industrial partners work together to study real-world problems
• Dual emphasis is placed on computational mathematics in the study of all real-world projects in each course of the curriculum

Students who complete the proposed program will:

• acquire advanced knowledge of a wide variety of topics that span the realm of applied mathematics, including differential equations, discrete mathematics, probabilistic modeling, optimization and statistical analysis.
• become adept at employing all steps of the mathematical modeling process in the analysis of real-world phenomena.
• acquire expertise in using various forms of technology and in using, modifying, and creating numerical algorithms used in the analysis of real-world phenomena,
• develop the valuable intuition of using the right tool for the right job.
