The department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) offers a broad undergraduate and graduate curriculum that emphasizes several branches of applied mathematics:
- Probability: the mathematical representation and modeling of uncertainty
- Statistics: the analysis and interpretation of data
- Data Science: principled computational analysis of data
- Operations Research: the design, analysis, and improvement of operations and processes
- Optimization: the determination of best or optimal decisions
- Discrete Mathematics: the study of finite structures, arrangements, and relations
- Scientific Computation: all aspects of numerical computing in support of the sciences
- Financial Mathematics: deriving, analyzing, and extending mathematical models of financial markets
RESEARCH
The Applied Mathematics and Statistics faculty welcome students interested in doing research. The course EN.553.101 Freshman Experience in Applied Mathematics & Statistics is an excellent way to meet faculty in very small groups, and topics discussed might lead to research. Also, there is an upper-level class EN.553.401 Introduction to Research in Applied Mathematics and Statistics which guides students through the research process and has often led to publications in good journals and presentations at national conferences.
AFTER GRADUATION
Students who have graduated with a degree in AMS have gone to many different fields, such as:
- Actuarial profession
- Analyst for a financial institution
- Operations research and consulting
- Biostatistician working with a pharmaceutical company
- Information security
- Applied mathematician in industry
- Applied mathematician in a policy/regulatory agency
- Data analyst
- Graduate school
- Medical school
- Law school
