The Applied Mathematics major challenges students to look beyond the formulas to find answers to real word questions ranging from administrative policies to worldly phenomenon to probability solutions. With individual attention from scholarly faculty, students thrive in initial calculus courses before moving on to statistics, actuarial science, numerical analysis and more. Applied Mathematics majors are provided extensive opportunities for financially supported undergraduate research and have access to advanced software that pushes them to accelerate in academia. SVSU offers up healthy exposure to mathematical competitions, conferences, internships and outreach activities to ensure that each of these mathematicians rises above their scholastic competitors to solve the next big problem that comes their way—whether it's at a local, state, national or global level.
SVSU's Applied Mathematics program features a strong foundation in calculus which is emphasized with an initial four-semester differential equations sequence. As they progress, students immerse themselves in topics that are currently used in applied fields, such as probability, statistics, actuarial science, numerical analysis and stochastic processes. They are also required to have at least one minor and take a minimum of one computer course to broaden their academic knowledge base. These Applied Mathematics majors receive an advanced and thoroughly applicable education to prepare them for wherever their collegiate career leads.
