数学是一种通用语言。应用数学结合了数学的美丽和功能，可以帮助我们理解和改善周围的世界。由于数学是通用的，因此可以应用于任何地方。这是应用数学特别令人兴奋的方面。应用数学家可以帮助设计卫星，解释我们的思维方式并改善MRI机器。应用数学允许人们以统一的数学结构找到许多学科通用的模式。神经科学中的问题有时与互联网搜索具有相同的数学结构。应用数学允许建立这种联系。<br> <br>富勒顿加利福尼亚州立大学数学系提供应用数学研究生课程，并获得文学硕士学位。该程序适用于正在寻求或目前担任涉及数学或定量应用程序的职位的
The Master of Science in Computational and Applied Mathematics program is for individuals who are seeking careers in industry or advanced degrees in mathematics, engineering and science. It was developed in consultation with mathematicians and scientists in the local industrial community. The program emphasizes modern applied mathematics, modeling, data analysis and scientific computation. Every class involves the use of modern interactive software for numerical computation and simulation modeling, including MATLAB and R. The program ends with a culminating experience course, where students must complete a real-world industry-sponsored project. The Master of Science in Computational Applied Mathematics is for students who are interested in using mathematical analysis in business, industry or government. Students develop the ability to use mathematical and computational methods to solve real-world problems and demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical and computational findings in written and oral forms. As a culminating experience, faculty-supervised student teams work on projects sponsored by local industrial firms. Each project offers students opportunities to apply classroom skills to real-world problems. Graduates of the program are competitive in the job market and/or are prepared to continue their graduate studies at the doctoral level.
