Bachelor of Arts - Mathematics - Applied Mathematics - Transfer Opportunity in Year 2

The Applied Mathematics Concentration is divided into two different tracks: (1) Classical Applied Track and (2) Modeling Track. Both of these combine a solid foundation in applied mathematics with different emphasis in rigor and critical thinking.

The Classical Applied Mathematics track combines a solid foundation in pure mathematics with upper division topics of vital importance for applications: differential equations, geometry, and analysis. As such, it provides training in rigor and critical thinking as found in pure mathematics, while focusing on theories and methods most commonly seen in applications.

This traditional form of applied mathematics has evolved over centuries alongside its close cousin: physics. As such, it makes an excellent second major or minor for physics and engineering students. It predates - yet is enhanced by - the computer revolution, and it remains a key component to progress in both science and industry. The Classical Applied Mathematics track is also an attractive option for the student considering graduate school in pure or applied mathematics, particularly if combined with the Math or Research cognates.
