Master of Science in Mathematics (M.S.) with a Concentration in Applied Mathematics

University of Toledo

The department offers an M.S. in Applied Mathematics an M.S. in Pure Mathematics and an M.S. in Statistics. The master's programs are based on a two-year curriculum of study culminating with a comprehensive examination or a thesis. Graduates from these programs are well prepared both for doctoral studies and for employment in academic and non-academic settings. M.S. in applied mathematics Offers students a rigorous introduction to the fundamental tools of applied mathematics, with particular emphasis on differential equations and numerical analysis. The program requires 30 semester hours of course work that includes year-long courses in real analysis, numerical analysis and differential equations, and a semester course in complex analysis. Elective courses can be chosen from graduate courses in applied areas such as linear, nonlinear and dynamic programming, convex analysis, calculus of variations, applied functional analysis and optimal control. A recently added Industrial Mathematics track allows students to take six of their elective hours in approved courses in the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Engineering, ISOM, Business or Environmental Sciences. A major component of this track is a project report (to serve as a thesis) which contains a solution to a practical "real-life" problem drawn from a company, university department or government unit.
