Applied Mathematics Major
Mathematics provides and excellent means for developing strong analytical and critical-thinking skills. The applied mathematics program emphasizes the tools that have been most useful historically in applications in science, engineering and technology: mathematical modeling, scientific computing, and probability and statistics.
Applied Mathematics Concentration—2009-2010 Roadmap [Degree Requirements]
The applied mathematics concentration emphasizes the classical aspects of the discipline, which are rooted in mathematical modeling and applications in the sciences. It couples well with physics as a minor or double major.
Computational Mathematics Concentration—2009-2010 Roadmap [Degree Requirements]
The computational mathematics concentration, designed for students with interests in numerical modeling and scientific computing, pairs well with computer science as a minor or double major.
Financial Mathematics Concentration—2009-2010 Roadmap [Degree Requirements]
The financial mathematics concentration prepares students for graduate programs in mathematical or computational finance or financial engineering, such as
Probability and Statistics Concentration—2009-2010 Roadmap [Degree Requirements]
The probability and statistics concentration emphasizes the mathematics underlying processes that involve randomness and the mathematical tools used in the analysis of data.
