The objective of the program is to teach students the fundamentals of applied mathematics such as classical analysis, numerical analysis, differential equations, dynamical systems, operations research, and probability and statistics. At the same time, the connection between these fields and physical and biological sciences, business and economics, and engineering is stressed.
Students obtain practical experience in modeling and solving a mathematical problem from industry.
Emphasis is placed on developing mathematical skills that employers value. By the end of the second semester a student must have an advisor who will approve the course work and oversee the industrial project. Theoretical Mechanics 320 Intro.
