Program Opportunities
概述
美国.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects demand for mathematicians and computational scientists to experience much faster than average growth, with career opportunities increasing between 26 and 30 percent from 2018 to 2028. 曼彻斯特 University’s new Applied 数学 major is designed for students wishing to enter industry in a wide variety of fields, including advanced manufacturing, 运输, 物流, telecommunications, 网络安全, 图像处理, 和矫形手术. Our graduates are creative problem-solvers and proficient mathematical modelers in a wide variety of real‐world contexts. Applications include scheduling, 医学成像, computer simulation, network planning and routing, 优化, 交通流量. In recent years our graduates have taken positions at major corporations such as General Motors, 雷神公司, 普利司通, and CNO Financial Group.
Successful students will be those who enjoy working on challenging questions, think creatively when facing ill-defined problems, and appropriately apply mathematical concepts and techniques in a variety of settings. 曼彻斯特 students have opportunities to broaden their skills through complementary programs in Software 工程师ing, 计算机科学 and Data Science, also offered by the 马文L. Bittinger Department of 数学 and 计算机科学.

项目的特性
While many colleges and universities claim to provide an applied mathematics major, most simply add a few applied courses to a traditional mathematics degree; only a handful of programs in Indiana provide a degree fully focused on industry applications and careers. 独特的, at 曼彻斯特 we provide a comprehensive applied mathematics program in a liberal arts setting.
Students majoring in Applied 数学 can easily add minors in 计算机科学 or Data Science. Or students majoring in these areas can pursue a minor in 数学.
曼彻斯特’s Applied 数学 program also prepares students to pursue a master’s degree in areas such as applied mathematics, operations research, computational science or statistics.
