Mathematics Major - Applied Mathematics Option (MAAJ)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Departments and Programs

There is a growing need for people who combine knowledge of mathematics and science to formulate and solve practical problems. The intent of the Applied Mathematics Option is to provide a broad range of computational and analytical skills, practice in mathematical modeling, and some fundamental knowledge of a scientific discipline. Computational and applied mathematicians are employed in a variety of positions in industry, business, and government. Students must complete a minor in one of Actuarial Sciences, Astronomy, Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Physics, or Statistics. Students should select their minor in the area in which they intend to apply their mathematical talents, and then they should select electives that are particularly suited to the problems in that area.
