Computational Mathematics Course Descriptions Applied and computational mathematics is concerned with the use of mathematics to solve problems in diverse areas such as engineering, business, science, health care, information technology, and public policy. There is a strong connection between applied mathematics and modern computational methods, especially in the design and computer implementation of mathematical algorithms. The applied and computational mathematics program prepares students for work in their areas of interest through instruction in mathematical and computational techniques of fundamental importance and practical relevance. The program allows students to choose an area of concentration such as probability and statistics, applied analysis, operations research, or information technology and computation.
Students are also free to select courses from different areas to meet their individual needs.
All students in the program will take a blend of introductory and advanced courses. Modern computing facilities are available for student use at the Kossiakoff Center of the Applied Physics Laboratory, the Montgomery County Campus, and the Homewood campus.
