Mathematics: Applied Mathematics (M.S.)

https://ceps.unh.edu/mathematics-statistics/program/ms/applied-mathematics

The MS in Applied Mathematics provides a broad introduction to modern applied mathematics and the opportunity to apply the curriculum in a wide range of application areas.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must have completed significant coursework in pure or applied mathematics, preferably including numerical analysis, differential equations, real analysis, and complex analysis.

Applying

Please visit the Graduate School website for detailed instructions about applying to the master's program.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS OPTION

This program requires 30 credit hours.

MATH 931Mathematical Physics3
IAM 933Applied Functional Analysis3
Select an approved two-course sequence in applied mathematics, such as:6
Numerical Analysis I: Numerical Linear Algebra
and Numerical Partial Differential Equations
Select one of the following:18
Thesis Option:
Master's Thesis (6 credits)
Four elective courses, selected with your adviser
Project Option:
Master's Project (3 credits)
Five elective courses, selected with your adviser
Total Credits30

The elective courses need not be in mathematics, but must be at the 800 level or higher, and at least one must be a technical course in statistics or some other department. The broad elective flexibility allows the student's application interests to have a substantial role in the content of the program.

The student's full program plan must be proposed in writing to the applied mathematics faculty and approved prior to the student's second semester of study. There is no comprehensive examination in this option.

This graduate program is approved to be taken on an accelerated basis in articulation with certain undergraduate degree programs.

General Accelerated Master's policy, note that some programs have additional requirements (e.g. higher grade expectations) compared to the policy.

Please see the Graduate School website and contact the department directly for more information.
