Computational and Applied Mathematics
Computational and Applied Mathematics Major
Designed to blend mathematics and application, this program includes most of the same core courses as the other two programs. Students then choose a concentration in:
- Biology and life sciences
- Economics
- Physics and engineering
- Electrical engineering
This degree is well suited for students who wish to apply mathematics to physical problems and seek careers in industry or specialized graduate study.
Students majoring in computational mathematics with a concentration in biology and life sciences who complete all requirements earn the degree of BS, mathematics.
