Introduction

The teaching and research programs of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics span modern applied mathematics.  The department's curriculum in Probability/Statistics covers probability theory, stochastic processes, and applied and theoretical statistics. Its Operations Research/Opti­mization program includes continuous and discrete op­timization, numerical optimization, network programming, and game theory. Its curriculum in Discrete Mathematics includes combinatorics, graph theory and cryptology and coding.  Its program in Scientific Computing includes computing, numerical analysis, matrix analysis, and mathema­tical modeling of systems.  The programs of the department together emphasize mathematical reasoning, mathematical modeling and computation, abstraction from the particular, innovative application of mathematics, and development of new methodology.

The current University Catalog contains a detailed description of the department's courses, programs, and requirements and a list of the current faculty and their interests.  The purpose of this brochure is to present supplemental information; it should be read along with the departmental listing in the Catalog.  (In particular, the reader should note that the course offerings of this and other departments can change over the years in subject, frequency, and fall-or-spring timing, so that some of the sample programs listed below may require modification; see the current course list for the latest offerings.)
