Undergraduate certificate Applied and Computational Mathematics

Applied Mathematics at Princeton. There has never been a better time to be a mathematician. The combination of mathematics and computer modeling has transformed science and engineering and is changing the nature of research in the biological sciences. The requirements for the mathematics major are a minimum of eight upperclass courses in mathematics or applied mathematics, including three basic courses on real analysis, complex analysis, and algebra. It is possible to design a course of undergraduate study aimed more strongly toward applications. Applied and computational mathematics/mathematics faculty have developed core courses in applied mathematics and several courses where the emphasis is mathematical modeling. The latter is central to applied mathematics where it is not only necessary to acquire mathematical techniques and skills, but also important to learn about the application domain.
