The Master of Science in Applied and Computational Mathematics is the sole graduate degree offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and as such, the graduate faculty and their research projects are highly accessible to students in the program. The two-year program is intended to provide a sound academic basis for careers in the natural, environmental, biomedical, and managerial science, as well as in engineering and in areas of research and development related to technology. Through emphasis on the place of theory within the discipline and the distinction between theory and practice, the program seeks to develop the student's critical and professional thinking, as well as intuition. Students thereby acquire a broad understanding of their field.  A Bifurcation Diagram. Degree requirements are flexible to permit the designing of a program of study tailored to the student's interests. Interaction is encouraged with other departments on campus, regional governmental facilities (including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Water Quality Laboratory and the Minnesota Natural Resources research Institute, both of which are located in Duluth), and area industries. Numerous opportunities exist for graduate student research.
