applied mathematicians learn to describe physical phenomena using deterministic models. these models are applicable to the biological and physical sciences and the student is trained to use differential equations, mathematical analysis and computational science to draw insights into various exciting fields.

applied mathematics is primarily designed to prepare graduates for employment in business, industry, and government. however, an appropriate choice of electives can ensure the student a solid preparation for graduate work in mathematics, statistics, or scientific computing. the program demonstrates the utility of mathematics to solve problems arising in real industrial applications. graduates will be qualified for professional careers in computational applications of mathematics, statistics, and other related fields.
