Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Scientific Computation - Applied Mathematics (Thesis)

The interdisciplinary program in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Scientific Computation (AMSC) offers graduate study leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with concentrations in applied mathematics, applied statistics, and scientific computation. It also offers a Certificate in Scientific Computation to graduate students enrolled in other university Ph.D. programs. The faculty is drawn from departments throughout the university. Possible areas of application include the physical, chemical, biological, and social sciences, and engineering. The program receives substantial support from the Department of Mathematics (MATH), the Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM), and the Institute for Physical Science and Technology (IPST). AMSC offers a spectrum of courses at the forefront of computation and applications, as well as state-of-the-art computational, visualization and networking facilities.The Concentration in Applied Mathematics trains individuals who are able to enhance their understanding of a wide spectrum of scientific phenomena through the application of rigorous mathematical analysis.
