Overview

The Applied Mathematics program of the University of Colorado at Boulder is designed to prepare graduates for exciting and diverse professional careers, and for graduate study in a wide variety of disciplines.

Courses at the undergraduate level provide training in a broad range of mathematical techniques and problem-solving strategies. These courses teach the concepts and methods central to applications of linear algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations, numerical analysis, probability and statistics, complex variables, and nonlinear dynamics.

Since applied mathematicians often are involved in interdisciplinary work, the BS degree requires an in-depth knowledge of some area of science or engineering where mathematics is used. This knowledge prepares graduates to successfully communicate and cooperate with engineers and scientists. The BS degree also requires knowledge of a programming language and skill in using the computer.

Research Opportunities

The Department of Applied Math offers a broad range of undergraduate research opportunities funded by multiple agencies including the National Science Foundation. Working with faculty, applied math students have developed solutions to a variety of problems in fluids, dynamical systems, data analysis, networks, signal processing, math biology, math education and numerics.

Students can do both theoretical and experimental work in the Dispersive Hydrodynamics Lab, gain practical experience in statistics and data science through LISA, the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis or work on individual research projects with departmental and affiliated faculty.
