Graduate Program

Applied Mathematics

A separate brochure describing the Applied Mathematics program in greater detail is available on request. 

The Department of Mathematics offers courses in methods of applied mathematics, including differential equations and dynamical systems, partial differential equations, integral equations, calculus of variations, numerical analysis, complex analysis, vector analysis, and other topics.

Emphasis is placed on analytical and numerical techniques for solving mathematical equations that arise in the physical and biological sciences, engineering, and economics. Such techniques include transform methods, Fourier analysis, special functions, orthogonal polynomials, linearization, conformal mappings, and finite element methods.

It is recommended that students contemplating study in applied mathematics have undergraduate training in differential equations, linear algebra, and a year of analysis or applied mathematics.
