The applied mathematics bachelor of science degree program offers training in mathematical problem solving techniques with a reduced emphasis on abstract theory. The applied mathematics BS program is tailored to the student who will need to apply mathematical, statistical, and computational methods to practical problems. Applied mathematics includes the theoretical portions of physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, biology, economics, astronomy, sociology, linguistics and a host of other disciplines. Recent advances in computing technology have made the use of quantitative methods of even greater importance in these disciplines. Applied mathematicians are found in almost every sector of the job market, including engineering research, telecommunications, computer services and software, energy systems, computer manufacturers, aerospace and automotive, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and government laboratories, among others. Through faculty connections, students have access to numerous internship and employment organizations in the Washington, D.C. area.
