Program Description
An applied math degree at 91Թ serves as a marriage between the mathematical sciences and what many call “the real world.” In an inclusive classroom, our students apply fundamental mathematics to problems in specific areas of study and industry. Our applied mathematics courses encourage innovative thinking, workable solutions, and pave the way for lucrative and practical careers in mathematics.
What is Applied Mathematics?
While it may sound simple, applied mathematics is exactly what the words state: the application of mathematics to an industry or area of study. Whether it’s engineering, linguistics, or even performance art, the application of mathematical sciences can provide answers and solutions that improve efficiency and inspire creativity.
