Applied and Computational Mathematics
What are the best red-yellow-green light timings for traffic signals in a congested urban traffic network?
How can we analyze brainwave signals to predict a possible epileptic seizure?
How can a bank find potential customers least likely to default on a loan?
What are the chances of failure for a particular missile guidance system?
Today's advances in areas as diverse as biomedicine, the Internet, communications, defense technologies, and commerce all require individuals with a sound background in applied mathematics and computation. Mathematical tools make it possible to create representations of the world that facilitate analysis of a problem. The computational side provides the means for producing the numbers, graphics, rules and other output that enable designers and decision-makers to solve the problem. EPP's Applied and Computational Mathematics (ACM) trains you in both of these essential aspects of modern analysis -- mathematical and computational -- preparing you to understand and then solve critical problems in a wide range of application areas. Highlights include:
- Small classes with individual attention, conveniently scheduled weekday evenings and Saturdays
- Flexibility to specialize in particular areas such as information technology and computation or simulation and modeling
- Blending of practical methods and theoretical principles for working in an applied environment
- Emphasis on computer implementation of modern algorithms
- Opportunity to pursue an independent study project
- Faculty respected internationally for their research contributions, publications, and practical experience
- No thesis required
Programs offered:
- Master of Science(M.S.)
- Advanced Certificate for Post-Master's Study candidates
