Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Scientific Computation

The interdisciplinary program in Applied Mathematics & 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 applicants are encouraged to take the GRE subject examination in either mathematics or another scientific topic. Applicants should have at least a "B" average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) and should have completed an undergraduate program of study that includes a strong emphasis on rigorous mathematics, preferably through the level of advanced calculus and linear algebra.
