The Mathematics and Statistics Department at Missouri S&T is comprised of both teaching and research faculty, with research interests covering a wide range of areas in both pure and applied mathematics and statistics. One particularly active group in the department is the Applied and Computational Mathematics group, which fosters close collaborations with engineering, material science, business, computer science and biology at MST. Many of our faculty are funded by external grants from National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health, Department of Energy, Simons Foundation and others. In addition to strong research across many disciplines, our department regularly develops new courses related to active and emerging research topics. The mathematics and statistics department provides an enriching academic environment through a wide variety of course offerings, weekly seminars in several subject areas, and a colloquium series. Degree options are designed to achieve balance between depth of knowledge acquired through specialization and breadth of knowledge gained through exploration. • Master of science in applied mathematics We offer M.S. degrees that allow for an emphasis in mathematics or statistics, with or without a thesis.<br><br>Credits - 30
