Applied Mathematics Major: Dynamics and Control Option (B.S.)

https://ceps.unh.edu/mathematics-statistics/program/bs/applied-mathematics-dynamics-control-option

Beginning in the 2022/23 academic year, the Applied Mathematics Major: Dynamics and Control option will no longer be accepting new students. Current students will continue to have access to the same high-quality education and resources until they graduate.

This degree program prepares students for employment and/or graduate study in a variety of fields and research specializations in which mathematics plays a critical role in the solution of important scientific and technological problems.

  • Students recognize common mathematical notations and operations used in mathematics, science and engineering.
  • Students can recognize and classify a variety of mathematical models including differential equations, linear and nonlinear systems of algebraic equations, and common probability distributions.
  • Students have developed a working knowledge (including notation, terminology, foundational principles of the discipline, and standard mathematical models within the discipline) in at least one discipline outside of mathematics.
  • Students are able to extract useful knowledge, both quantitative and qualitative, from mathematical models and can apply that knowledge to the relevant discipline.
