The Requirements for the
MS in Mathematics (Applied Mathematics Option)

This is a two-year professional degree especially designed to train mathematicians and scientists/engineers with strong mathematics backgrounds in up-to-date applied mathematical, computational and statistical skills. Such training is intended to produce high caliber individuals who can confidently undertake interdisciplinary research. The focus will be in preparing talented individuals to face the mathematical and other research challenges in business and/or industrial sectors.

In order to achieve these goals the program requires:

• a broad background in the areas of Numerical Analysis/Optimization, Modeling/Simulation, and Statistical Analysis;
• a concentration in one of the above areas;
• practice in both written and oral communication;
• both group and individual projects;
• a strong computing component.
