数学理学硕士的目的是实现两个目标：为本科以上水平的学生提供强大的数学课程计划；并具有足够的灵活性以适应各种各样的学生兴趣和背景。该课程没有必需的课程，但是强烈鼓励学生在组成他们自己的学习计划的课程中强调重点，这种重点既提供了重点，也提供了对毕业生经验的深度。无论研究生课程的目标是什么，学生都应尽快与具有类似数学兴趣的教师建立紧密的工作关系。这将确保在计划连贯的学习计划时提供良好的建议。此外，顾问可能会建议特殊主题的课程，独立学习或论文选修，这些都可以用来更深入地追求自己的兴趣。最后，计划攻读数学博士学位的
This concentration is recommended for students interested in Computational Science, particularly those students who are interested in pursuing graduate study in Applied and Computational Mathematics at the graduate level.<br>A Concentration in Computational Mathematics may be useful in a wide range of areas including Science, Engineering, Government, Health Care, Business, and Information Technology. The specialization in Computational Mathematics is designed for students with a strong interest in Mathematics and in mathematical applications to areas of Science and Engineering. By choosing elective courses carefully, students completing this specialization will be prepared for a career in a variety of Computing and/or Engineering areas. Students will also be prepared to continue on to a graduate program in Applied Mathematics.<br>Computational Mathematics involves the use of math and computers to solve problems and predict outcomes. The concentration in Computational Mathematics is intended for any student who is interested in applications to solving practical and physical problems in Engineering, Science, and Business. This concentration is also recommended for students who wish to work in the research and development area of industry. The concentration is especially intended for students seeking a career as Quantitative Analysts, Computational Scientists, and Applied Mathematicians, and for those thinking of continuing the study of Applied and Computational Mathematics at the graduate level.
