Applied Mathematics Major: Solid Mechanics and Vibrations Option (B.S.)
Program Overview
The Applied Mathematics Major prepares students for careers or graduate study in fields where mathematics is crucial for solving scientific and technological problems. The Solid Mechanics and Vibrations option focuses on the application of mathematics to the analysis and design of structures and systems subject to mechanical forces and vibrations. Students complete a core curriculum in mathematics, physics, and engineering, along with specialized courses in solid mechanics and vibrations.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Beginning in the 2022/23 academic year, the Applied Mathematics Major: Solid Mechanics and Vibrations option will no longer be accepting new students. Current students will continue to have access to the same high-quality education and resources until they graduate. This degree program prepares students for employment and/or graduate study in a variety of fields and research specializations in which mathematics plays a critical role in the solution of important scientific and technological problems.
