Bachelor of Arts Mathematics - Computational Mathematics Concentration

Program Overview

This concentration is recommended for students interested in computational science, particularly those students who are interested in pursuing graduate study in applied and computational mathematics at the graduate level.

A concentration in computational mathematics may be useful in a wide range of areas including science, engineering, government, healthcare, business, and information technology. The specialization in computational mathematics is designed for students with a strong interest in Mathematics and in mathematical applications to areas of science and engineering. By choosing elective courses carefully, students completing this specialization will be prepared for a career in a variety of computing and/or engineering areas. Students will also be prepared to continue on to a graduate program in applied mathematics.

Computational mathematics involves the use of math and computers to solve problems and predict outcomes. The concentration in computational mathematics is intended for any student who is interested in applications to solving practical and physical problems in engineering, science, and business. This concentration is also recommended for students who wish to work in the research and development area of industry. The concentration is especially intended for students seeking a career as quantitative analysts, computational scientists, and applied mathematicians, and for those thinking of continuing the study of applied and computational mathematics at the graduate level.
