The focus of the M.S. in Mathematics Program is the development of sophisticated mathematical models and their implementation on high performance computing platforms. The curriculum features a balance of application, computation, and theory with particular emphasis in the areas of operations research, computational science, and the development of probabilistic and deterministic models.

Areas of faculty and graduate student research activity include computational biology, computational finance, molecular dynamics simulation, operations research, optimization, and Ramsey theory. The program is particularly effective at preparing graduates to work in business, industry, or government as well as preparing students to continue on to the CSS PhD or other PhD program.

Student Support and Engagement Opportunities:The department has graduate research and teaching assistantships and fellowships are available for a number of qualified applicants.

Facilities and Services:The department offices are located in Harding Hall. The Math Help Center, located in Harding Hall 128 and in the Biostress Basement 0020, provides free walk-in tutoring for students in several undergraduate courses.

Complete one of the core sequences listed for math degree and one of the core sequences listed for the statistics degree, and pass the two corresponding comprehensive exams.
