Statistics and Applied Mathematics - Track II: Applied Mathematics
|
|
 Return to: Programs and Courses in Mathematics and Statistics
Most students in Track II do their project in differential equations. The context may be engineering or finance. The techniques may be from numerical analysis or statistics or a combination of these.

Admission Requirements - Track II: Applied Mathematics
The general college admission requirements must be satisfied. These include the Graduate Record Examination and two letters of recommendation. In addition, the department requires one semester of Linear Algebra (Math 260) and one semester of Multivariate Calculus (Math 250). The department’s requirements are minimal. They are intended to encourage students without a previous specialization in mathematics to pursue a degree in statistics and applied mathematics. Degree Requirements for the MA Track in Applied Mathematics
Thirty credits (10 courses)* from courses chosen as follows: Core Curriculum** (15 credits, 5 courses)
Electives (12 credits, 4 courses)
Twelve credits in statistics, computer science, mathematics, or relevant areas of application, selected to constitute a cohesive program. Typically, these courses are at the MATH 700 and/or STAT 700 level. Electives must be approved by the Graduate Statistics and Applied Math Adviser. Project
The student, guided by a member of the faculty, prepares a project in applied mathematics. The student presents the results to faculty and students in a seminar during the student’s final semester. This replaces the comprehensive examination requirement. The student must exhibit a working knowledge of two useful computer languages or data analysis packages. This replaces the foreign language requirement. Note(s)
*The 30 credits (10 courses) must be approved by an adviser and constitute a concentration.
**Courses already taken as an undergraduate will satisfy specific course requirements but are not included in the 30 credit (10 course) total. Return to: Programs and Courses in Mathematics and Statistics |
