Applied Mathematics - Illinois Institute of Technology

Applied Mathematics from Illinois Institute of Technology is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. Applied mathematics is the mathematics that is created in response to problems in science, engineering, and society. Applied mathematicians work on a wide variety of topics such as how to construct methods for multicriteria decision making (requiring discrete mathematics and statistics), predicting how the financial markets will behave (requiring probability/statistics, analysis, optimization), and analyzing how liquid flows around solids (requiring expertise in computational methods and analysis). Students with an applied mathematics background are prepared for careers in the insurance industry, electronics and computer manufacturers, logistics companies, pharmaceutical firms, and more. More about Careers Our graduates work in financial and insurance companies as analysts, computer companies as programmers and hardware developers, and in many different fields as researchers, as well as academia. They have have gone to excellent graduate schools in mathematics (pure, applied , & financial), physics, design, accounting, and M.B.A. programs. The foci of the B.S. program at IIT are in four areas of modern applied mathematics: applied analysis, computational mathematics, discrete applied mathematics , and stochastic analysis. Because the program allows maximum flexibility, students majoring in Applied Mathematics have ample opportunity to assemble a portfolio of courses that will satisfy both intellectual needs and career preparation. A minor is required and consists of five related courses in an area outside of Applied Mathematics . With a minor in computer science, business, or one of the engineering areas, for example, the student will be well prepared to enter the job market in business or government. Students will also be prepared to continue in graduate school in applied mathematics. View more details on Illinois Institute of Technology .
