Today's societal needs and problems are heavily dependent on mathematical and statistical tools. With a master's in applied mathematics from Florida Tech, graduates use their mathematical expertise with other disciplines (science, engineering, economics, medicine, and finance) to solve multifaceted challenges such as weather and climate conditions, the complexities of network analysis, changes in biodiversity, crime statistics, traffic jams, and more.<br><br>Graduate students work closely with the faculty and undergraduate students to gain experience in research, teaching, and undergraduate training. Most of the faculty have expertise in applied and computational mathematics and statistics. Co-supervisors from related departments such as engineering or science collaborate with students when completing an interdisciplinary project.<br><br>Beyond the required core courses, students seeking a master's in applied mathematics have the flexibility of forming a custom-made curriculum based on their research interests and future career goals. They graduate with the ability to understand and articulate solutions in a variety of fields, giving them an advantage when communicating with research and science funding agencies and employers. After receiving a master's in applied mathematics, many graduates also choose a doctoral program at Florida Tech (see below for more information).
