Computational Applied Mathematics, M.S.

California State University - Fullerton

The Master of Science in Computational and Applied Mathematics program is for individuals who are seeking careers in industry or advanced degrees in mathematics, engineering and science. It was developed in consultation with mathematicians and scientists in the local industrial community. The program emphasizes modern applied mathematics, modeling, data analysis and scientific computation. Every class involves the use of modern interactive software for numerical computation and simulation modeling, including MATLAB and R. The program ends with a culminating experience course, where students must complete a real-world industry-sponsored project. The Master of Science in Computational Applied Mathematics is for students who are interested in using mathematical analysis in business, industry or government. Students develop the ability to use mathematical and computational methods to solve real-world problems and demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical and computational findings in written and oral forms. As a culminating experience, faculty-supervised student teams work on projects sponsored by local industrial firms. Each project offers students opportunities to apply classroom skills to real-world problems. Graduates of the program are competitive in the job market and/or are prepared to continue their graduate studies at the doctoral level.
