Applied Mathematics
Overview
A concentration in applied mathematics focuses on using mathematical theories to solve real-world problems, such as those related to structural stability, chemical interactions or wave propagation. Applied mathematics encompasses the use of:
- Probability theory
- Numerical and data analysis
- Modeling
- Algorithm development
- Simulations to explore the connections between mathematics, science, and our environment
Applied mathematics is used extensively in the fields of physics, geology, engineering and technology. Several emerging career paths have been identified by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, including:
- Bioinformatics
- Materials science
- Computer animation and digital imaging
- Finance
- Climatology
- Ecology/environmental organizations
