| Mathematical Sciences - Masters Programs | |
The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers the degree Master of Science in three areas; Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Stochastic Systems & Optimization. Each program requires 30 credits of coursework (ten courses) to graduate. Further program requirements are detailed in the Graduate Student Handbook, available from the Office of Graduate Admissions. | Master of Science, Mathematics | |
A master’s degree in mathematics requires 30 credits of courses, including the following core courses:
Core Courses
MA 552 Linear Algebra
MA 605 Foundations of Algebra I
MA 611 Probability
MA 635 Real Variables I
MA 651 Topology I
MA 681 Functions of a Complex Variable I | Master of Science, Applied Mathematics | |
This program provides a background in mathematical techniques which are useful in solving practical problems in science and engineering. You are encouraged to include courses from other departments in your program of study.
The program requires 30 credits (10 courses) of coursework. You may transfer up to one-third of this amount from outside Stevens. If you know the material in one of the required courses, you may substitute another course. In both cases, you will need the approval of a department advisor. All elective courses must be chosen with the consent of a department advisor.

This program focuses on analysis and optimal decision-making for complex systems involving uncertain data and risk. The program includes courses in statistics, stochastic processes, stochastic optimization, and stochastic optimal control theory. Applications to financial systems, network design and routing, telecommunication systems, medicine, actuarial mathematics, and other areas are discussed. Students are encouraged to apply the techniques they learn to problems derived from their professional work and interests.
Ten courses are required for the degree; six are core courses. Elective courses are chosen with the consent of the student's academic advisor.
