数学和统计系提供的课程可带动应用数学领域的硕士课程，无论有无论文，教师学位的理学硕士，以及博士学位。在数学上。可以通过数学或统计学的追求来攻读应用数学领域的硕士，而博士学位可以在此基础上获得。可以在数学，计算和应用数学或统计学的重点上继续学习数学。MS是推荐的，但不是必需的，它是获得博士学位的先决条件。如果您打算在未获得硕士学位的情况下攻读博士学位，则需要32小时的研究生学分才能注册为博士候选人。这些小时的选择应该使您获得（a）现代代数，分析，统计和拓扑的入门知识，如果选择数学重点，（b）实数分析，微分方
The M.S. program in applied mathematics at Illinois Tech serves a dual purpose based on your background and career aims. Should you want to pursue a doctoral degree in applied mathematical sciences, it provides a strong foundation that prepares you for the challenges of Ph.D. coursework and research. Should you want to pursue a career in industry, you will be trained in advanced mathematical techniques and models appealing to future employers.<br><br>The three options of study include writing a master's thesis, passing two qualifying exams, or conducting an industry-based project.<br><br>Five specializations are offered in the program: industrial mathematics, stochastic computation, discrete computation and optimization, computational statistics for data science, and quantitative risk management.
