Applied and Computational Mathematics

About

Apply mathematical models and methods to study various problems that arise in industry and business, with an emphasis on developing computable solutions.
Work in areas such as mathematical modeling and analysis of manufacturing, computer and communications systems, transportation optimization, financial mathematics, biological modeling, and consulting/planning.
Current program research includes network science, image analysis, contact lens, polymeric flows, coating, lake plastic, climate modeling, relativity, multi-messenger astrophysics, data analytics, and machine learning.
Apple, BAE Systems, Ernst & Young, IBM, and Microsoft are just a sampling of employers who hire graduates from the applied and computational mathematics program.

The applied and computational mathematics master's degree refines your capabilities in applying mathematical models and methods to study a range of problems, with an emphasis on developing and implementing computing solutions. Sophisticated mathematical tools are increasingly used to solve problems in management science, engineering, biology, financial portfolio planning, facilities planning, control of dynamic systems, and design of composite materials. The goal of RIT's master's in applied mathematics is to find computing solutions to real-world problems.

Applied and Computational Mathematics

The ideas of applied mathematics pervade several applications in a variety of businesses and industries as well as the government. The reasoning, deduction, and logic skills developed in this program will make you more competitive in a wide array of positions and industries.

Sophisticated mathematical tools are increasingly used to develop new models, modify existing ones, and analyze system performance. This includes applications of mathematics to problems in management science, biology, portfolio planning, facilities planning, control of dynamic systems, and design of composite materials. The goal of this mathematics master's degree is to find computable solutions to real-world problems arising from these types of situations.

RIT's Master's in Applied Mathematics

RIT's mathematics master's provides you with the capability to apply mathematical models and methods to study various problems that arise in industry and business, with an emphasis on developing computable solutions that can be implemented.

Tailor the applied and computational mathematics master's degree to fit your career goals. Electives may be selected from the graduate course offerings in the School of Mathematical Sciences or from other RIT graduate programs, with approval from the graduate program director. You also have the option to complete a thesis, which includes the presentation of original ideas and solutions to a specific mathematical problem. The proposal for the thesis work and the results must be presented and defended before the advisory committee.

Applied Mathematics Careers

Graduates of the masters in applied mathematics are uniquely qualified to address the full breadth of mathematical challenges and have developed a depth of knowledge in their chosen specializations.

The Department of Defense accounts for about 81 percent of the mathematicians employed by the federal government. In the private sector, mathematicians are employed by scientific research and development services, software publishers, insurance companies, and in aerospace or pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Recent graduates are employed as engineers, economists, analysts (e.g. operations research), physicists, cryptanalysts (codes), actuaries, teachers, market researchers, and financial advisors. Apple, BAE Systems, Ernst & Young, IBM, and Microsoft are just a few of the employers who have hired graduates of the applied and computational mathematics program.

An applied and computational mathematics master's degree that is designed for you to create innovative computing solutions, mathematical models, and dynamic systems to solve problems in industries such as engineering, biology, and more.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Transcript(s)

RIT requires transcripts from all colleges and universities that you have attended, including transcript grading keys.
International students should provide transcripts (or mark sheets) and degree certificates from all post-secondary institutions.

To submit your transcript(s) for application review:

Upload copies or official transcript(s) with the submission of your online application, or
Upload your transcript(s) through your admissions portal after you have submitted your application

Upon enrollment at RIT, you will need to contact your prior college or university and request that your official, final records be sent directly to RIT. Documents you upload are not considered official.

Degree Requirements

All applicants to RIT’s graduate programs must hold—or currently be completing—a four-year baccalaureate degree, or the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree, granted by an accredited college or university.

If you have not yet completed your undergraduate coursework, your admission will be contingent upon submission of your final transcript showing the degree granted and the date of the degree.

3-Year Degrees from International Universities
RIT will review applicants with 3-year degrees from international universities. Students with 3-year degrees from India must meet all of the following conditions:

The college or university is WHED recognized, and
The college or university is NAAC accredited with an "A" grade, and
You have passed in the 1st Class (or equivalent).

If you do not meet the above requirements, you may request a WES evaluation or you would need to complete (or be in the process of) postgraduate study.

If your 3-year undergraduate degree is currently in progress, you may be admitted contingent upon obtaining your degree in the 1st class or equivalent.

Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) from Nigeria or Ghana
RIT considers Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) from Nigeria or Ghana to be comparable to US bachelor’s degrees under the following conditions: the HND is a 2-year program that followed a 2-year National Diploma (ND) or Ordinary National Diploma (OND) program, for a total of at least 4 years of post-secondary study.

Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV)

Upload a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) to your online application. Your resume or curriculum vitae (CV) should include details about your education, employment, and internship history. Pertinent research experience should be included as well.
