The minor in applied mathematics is designed to give students the opportunity to complement their degree with a computational component. The minor offers a more concentrated applied curriculum and, more importantly, recognition for students working in areas where applications of mathematics have seen a greater presence in recent years. This includes, in particular, the natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, geology, and biology, but also computer science, economics, and business, where mathematical modeling has become very important. Adding the applied mathematics minor to such a degree will give students the more specific recognition for their course work, thereby enhancing their resume.
