Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Applied Mathematics] From University of Akron

Mathematics reaches realistic solutions using abstract tools. We can create mathematical models at any scale — electrons, ecosystems, or economies. We can design new molecules for medicines and materials. We can optimize for efficient communication and secure networking. We can decode a genome and decipher its history. We can discover the best environmental and financial options.

Applied mathematicians use mathematics to solve problems in science and engineering, using pencil and paper as well as computers to set up and solve equations, and then interpreting the results.

A degree in applied mathematics paves the way to career opportunities in business, law, medicine, computer technology, engineering, physics, the social sciences and education.
