Applied Mathematics

The Applied Mathematics program at the University of Calgary prepares students to use mathematics to quantify and solve problems which arise in all areas of human endeavour. Applied Math students develop knowledge based upon analysis, algebra, geometry and mathematic principles associated with physics, computation and numerical analysis, allowing them a greater understanding of those areas of mathematics that have proven the most useful in solving real world problems or seem to offer promise for present problems.Applied mathematics is a broad field which historically emphasized theoretical physics and physical problems, giving deeper understanding of the physical world and enabling accurate predictions of physical phenomena. Although physics problems ranging from fluids to quantum systems remain a significant part of applied mathematics, the field has grown to include a wide variety of subjects пПР biomathematics, cryptography, scientific computation, mathematical modelling, economics, financial mathematics, operations research and engineering.The Faculty of Science offers programs of study leading to either the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree.
