Course Introduction || Course Planning

For course planning, the department not only provides basic mathematics courses to provide students with solid foundations for mathematics but also designs several interesting and versatile mathematics courses in general education. Students are expected to gain knowledge in mathematics through stimulating course content. As soon as students gain understanding of domain concepts in mathematics, they are encouraged to choose their concentrations in one of the following areas: probability and statistics, combinational mathematics and scientific computing.

With respect to curriculum design, the department will be focusing on programming and trainings in mathematical and statistical software. As a result, students will be able to utilize modern research tools effectively. Juniors and Seniors are highly recommended to team up with faculty in academic research projects or to participate in collaborative research programs sponsored by industries. These types of involvement will strength students’ understandings in theories and award students with invaluable hands-on experience.

Moreover, the department encourages students to choose an introductory course for mathematics from one of the following majors while pursing their degrees in applied mathematics: physics, biology, economics, and electrical engineering. Because of the importance of understanding mathematics in a different field other than applied mathematics, it will be beneficial to students in sharpening their ability to work with people from different fields.
