Mathematics Major Applied Mathematics

This track is designed for students who are interested in applications of mathematics to other disciplines. Related areas include statistics, biometry, economics, physics, information science, and chemistry. Applied mathematics majors, in consultation with their advisors, should develop proposed areas of application and submit them to the department committee on the major for evaluation.
