Why Choose Applied Mathematics?
The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics provides you with a mixture of courses in pure and applied mathematics, physics, and engineering, with the following goals in mind:
- Familiarity with the basic mathematical tools used in all branches of science and technology
- Training in logical and abstract reasoning
- Advanced study in applied mathematics itself
- Familiarity with the types of problems encountered in other fields
- Experience with the use of computers and computer programming
If you find mathematics interesting, this program will offer you an ideal combination of intellectual challenge and employability. The applied mathematics cncentration is excellent preparation for graduate study in engineering, physics, operations research, or applied mathematics itself.
Because the applications of mathematics are so diverse, this program has considerable flexibility. The emphasis is on mathematics that is useful in solving problems arising in engineering, physics, and other sciences. During the junior and senior years, you will be encouraged to choose technical electives from other departments. In additional to broadening mathematical, statistical, and engineering backgrounds, these electives could enable you to pursue an interest in different fields during your career or prepare you for future study in virtually all STEM areas.
