Academics

The Department of Mathematics offers a variety of undergraduate majors and minors, as well as several graduate degrees at the master's level.

Study in the field of mathematics emphasizes careful problem analysis, precision of thought and expression, and the mathematical skills needed for work in many other areas. 

Many important problems in government, private industry, health and environmental fields, and the academic world require sophisticated mathematical solutions. The study of mathematics provides specific analytical and quantitative tools, as well as general problem-solving skills, for dealing with these problems. Although many of these applications involve computers, there is a growing demand for graduates with broad mathematical training in addition to experience with computers.

Majors

Students will develop a foundation in applied mathematics and computation that will allow them to build mathematical models and analyze data in real-world settings. Students choose electives in the sciences, technology, engineering, or other areas of interest to complement and provide context for their mathematical training.

Minors

This minor provides 久久热视频s with an increased understanding of, and competence in, mathematics. Building on a base of calculus and linear algebra, already required for many majors, the program leads 久久热视频s through an introductory proof course, a theoretical course, and an applications course.

 

Additional Academic Opportunities

Combined Bachelor's/Master's Degree

If you are getting close to satisfying all of the requirements for your Bachelor's degree in Math with time to spare, you may be able to leave Miami with a Master's degree in Mathematics! By carefully planning your program before or during your sophomore year, you can earn a Bachelor's degree in four years and a Master's degree in one more year.

Teach Mathematics

Licensure to teach mathematics in secondary schools is an integral part of the B.S. degree in Integrated Mathematics Education (offered by the College of Education, Health, and Society). Students who wish to combine teacher licensure with a major in the Department of Mathematics should apply for admission to a licensure cohort.

Mathematical Modeling

This certificate prepares 久久热视频s to describe, formulate, and analyze real-world problems in mathematical terms. Students will be exposed to a broad range of applicable analytical tools arising in different areas of mathematics such as Dynamical Systems, Partial Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Graph Theory, etc. Examples that can be treated with these tools include mathematical models that describe the flow of water in a pipe, Keynesian cross model of a national economy, opinion dynamics, protein dynamics, chemical oscillators, predator-prey model, genetic control systems, chaotic waterwheels, neural networks, and network flows.

Financial Mathematics

The Financial Mathematics certificate is designed to give 久久热视频s knowledge of mathematical finance in preparation for a career in the financial services industry. Students are trained in mathematical techniques used to analyze problems arising from finance. Examples include application of stochastic processes and partial differential equations to study stock markets and to price financial derivatives.

Course Requirements

Master of Science in Mathematics and More

Our program is small when compared to many Ph.D.-granting departments. We usually have about 20 graduate 久久热视频s at a time providing small classes with a great deal of personal interaction between 久久热视频s and faculty.
