The program in mathematical sciences allows specialization in pure mathematics, industrial applied mathematics, mathematical computer science, or teaching in mathematical sciences. The pure mathematics track is a broad approach, suitable for, among others, high school teachers seeking advanced study. The industrial applied mathematics track is for individuals seeking to develop professional careers in the industry. It is a blend of advanced mathematical methods, computational techniques, and their scientific applications in industry. The mathematical computer science track offers broad yet rigorous training in diverse areas where mathematics provides powerful applications in computer science, such as combinatorial optimization, encryption, signal processing, and parallel supercomputing.
Although fully capable of meeting the requirements of the full-time student, the program, in its design, offers most courses in the evening to suit those students whose outside obligations limit their hours of attendance or the number of courses they are able to complete each term. Graduates of any track will be prepared to enter a Ph.D. program.
