ease of forming close relationships with faculty throughout the applied mathematics program.
Bachelor of Science
Minor available in this area of study.
This quality has allowed him to gain a more
thorough understanding of
the material he’ s learning.
The applied mathematics major provides students with an array of courses that build mathematical skills. Students graduate with a solid background in mathematics and statistics and the ability to use data to solve problems in various disciplines. Critical and analytic thinking skills make applied mathematics majors highly employable in government, the private sector, and education.
Each student in the major will also complete a senior capstone course, choosing either a research option or an internship option. Our capstone course enables students to apply their mathematical skills to gain career-oriented, practical experience.
A SAMPLING OF COURSES IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS:
Actuarial Mathematics
Computer Programming for Mathematics
Discrete Structures
Differential Equations
Linear Algebra
When asked what his favorite part of his major was, Gerald said,“ The ability to understand the world around us as we use mathematics because math is everywhere.” Gerald recently worked with a
