Master's of Science in Applied Mathematics

Capturing Opportunity in Emerging Fields

Students with strong math backgrounds seeking to innovate their own careers will find themselves well-prepared for current and future disciplines with a degree in Applied Mathematics. Sophisticated computers storing and processing previously unknown amounts of data require equally sophisticated human experts to develop the tools and programs that make these systems work. Computational analysis has exposed new horizons in data mining, bioinformatics, wireless telecommunications, cryptography, environmental science, materials science, statistics, finance, and other emerging specialties.

Creating Innovations for Society

Applied Mathematics is the use of math to solve problems in engineering, science, and society. Commensurate with this broad definition is a wide-open field of professional opportunities and career paths. Mathematicians able to apply their knowledge to industrial processes and technology development are in constant demand throughout the industrial marketplace, from pharmaceutical companies to aerospace engineering firms. Students can make a difference in the world developing more efficient systems for manufacturing, computational analysis, or human organization in research, business, and government.

More than Mathematics

An intimate understanding of the challenges and goals of other disciplines is intrinsic to success to Applied Mathematics. Stevens university-wide emphasis on innovative research relevant to the real world supplies graduate students with the support to pursue coursework far beyond foundational math. This exposure not only enhances the value of the Stevens education, but gives the student the upper hand when entering the job market after graduation.

Freedom to Explore

Graduate students in Applied Mathematics are encouraged to take advantage of Stevens renowned engineering and science course offerings to explore the application of their specialty to other domains. Four classes towards the Master's of Science are free electives, selected in cooperation with the advisor, guaranteeing that the student is able to explore his or her specific interest in mathematical applications.
