Course summary

This program is Mathematical modeling and numerical analysis are increasingly important in many areas of science and technology. The dramatic improvement in algorithms and hardware in recent decades has facilitated the treatment of applied mathematical models which were considered intractable only a few years ago. This has led to the emergence of Scientific Computing as a "third scientific methodology", as distinct from theory and experimentation. Exploiting this new approach requires (a) sound mathematical training, (b) expertise in the practical aspects of computing and algorithm development, and (c) an interdisciplinary, scientific viewpoint which transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. The student will also find opportunities for the interdisciplinary application of mathematics in a number of diverse areas. These include Geophysics, Materials Science, Mathematical Biology, Physics, and Chemistry.

Entry requirement for international students

Students should have two official transcripts to be sent from each institution attended (except Bowling Green State University----only one is needed from this institution). These transcripts are to be sent directly from the institution(s). In those cases where temporary transcripts are submitted initially, formal admission to the Graduate College is granted upon receipt of official transcripts showing the degree earned and the date it was completed. Submit official test scores for the Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test. Students are encouraged to submit test scores for the G.R.E. Advanced Test in Mathematics, but are not required to do so. If student native language is not English, studnet must submit test scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the Official Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB).
