Applied Mathematics
Degree Requirements
Depending upon future goals, students may structure their coursework with an emphasis on preparation for graduate school or for more immediate employment. Those who wish to further their study of mathematics may obtain a strong background in the more rigorous and abstract aspects of mathematics. Partial Differential Equations, Real Analysis, Vector and Tensor Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Mathematics are courses available for students with this interest. For those wishing to pursue careers immediately upon graduation, a rich background in those courses especially suitable to industry may be obtained. Courses supporting this area of study include Mathematical Modeling, Electromagnetism, Numerical Differential Equations, Numerical Linear Algebra, Numerical Computing, Statistics and Probability.
Students may also work individually with faculty members to course special interests outside of our scheduled courses. Students have worked with faculty in areas including fractal and chaos, computational holography, detection and estimation in radar systems and graph theory.
Degree Requirements
- Satisfactory completion of at least 124 semester hours of college-level work.
- Satisfactory completion of at least 60 semester hours of upper division college work at least 30 of which must be taken at SUNYIT.
- Achievements of at least a "C" cumulative grade point average in all coursework taken at SUNYIT.
- Satisfactory completion of the Core Mathematics Courses with an average grade of "C" or higher.
