“Math will rock your world.” You might think the headline came from a marketing firm hoping to lure kids to do their homework.

In fact, the sentence appeared on the cover of BusinessWeek magazine. The “math” rocking the world is applied mathematics, an area of study that uses mathematics to understand how a leaf unfurls, predict when the next hurricane might hit, and sort through the information overload of the online era.

Our flexible programs allow students to concentrate in applied mathematics with a specialization in areas of application such as biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, decision and control, economics, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, geophysical sciences, mechanical engineering, physics, scientific computing, social and behavioral sciences, and statistics.

Many students prepare for graduate work either in applied mathematics or in the particular discipline in which they expect to work.

Applied mathematics moves beyond theory, blending the study of mathematics
with a wide array of applications in many fields: biology, genomics,
chemistry, computer science, decision and control, economics, electrical
engineering, geophysical sciences, mechanical engineering, scientific computing,
physics, social and behavioral sciences, and statistics.
