The graduate programs in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are designed to provide a solid foundation for careers in teaching, industry, or government. The applied mathematics program is designed not only for persons with undergraduate training in mathematics but also for those with degrees in related disciplines.

The applied mathematics option provides training in mathematical techniques applicable to a wide range of real-world problems. The objectives of this program are two-fold: to develop the ability to analyze and solve a variety of mathematical problems and to increase the understanding of specific problems encountered in other fields. To this end, the curriculum includes course sequences in pure and applied mathematics and advanced courses in related areas such as engineering, computer science, or physics.

This option is designed for those who have completed a bachelor's degree in engineering, science, mathematics, or statistics, and who wish to acquire a solid foundation in applied mathematics. Applicants for this program should have completed undergraduate courses in multivariable calculus, linear or matrix algebra, and ordinary differential equations. Students should also have knowledge of a high-level programming language. Courses in complex analysis, partial differential equations, and physics are recommended.
