Both established companies and startups are actively seeking experts in applied mathematics who can help deconstruct and solve problems on a global scale. Get on their recruiting radar with an applied mathematics master’s degree from Stevens.

The program prepares students for careers in science, engineering, and business, where advanced methods in differential equations, nonlinear optimization, statistics, and computational mathematics play a significant role in technology development and innovation. It accommodates individuals with varying academic backgrounds and career objectives, including students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in the mathematical sciences. Upon completion of the program, students should have acquired significant knowledge and fundamental understanding across a broad range of subjects including analysis, differential equations, probability, nonlinear optimization, statistics, and numerical methods. To better prepare themselves for careers at the interface between mathematics and applications in science, engineering and business, our students are strongly encouraged to pursue deeper understanding in one of the three areas (program concentrations): Differential Equations, Optimization of Stochastic Systems, or Data Science.

The applied mathematics master's program introduces students to advanced methods in differential equations, nonlinear optimization, statistics, and computational mathematics and offers three concentrations: differential equations, optimization of stochastic systems and data science
