Master of Science in 数学

Students applying for a Masters of Science in 数学 will take courses in 数学 and Statistics, be engaged with faculty actively involved in research, as well as do research that will prepare them for further study in 数学 at a doctoral level or for employment in industry.  联络Judy Kennedy (朱迪.kennedy@jsllaw.net)查阅更多资料.

入学

For admission to the Master of Science in Computational and Quantitative Methods the student is expected to have courses equivalent or comparable to calculus, 线性代数, differential equations and statistics.  Applicants who do not meet this requirement may still be admitted conditionally and be required to make up missing coursework as prescribed by the department. 绩点3分.0 for assigned deficiency/leveling courses must be maintained and grades below "C" will not be accepted.

课程的完成

In order to complete the Master of Science in 数学 program, 学生必须

  1. Complete one of the two following programs:
    1. At least 24 hours of graduate course work, a written thesis acceptable to the student’s graduate committee, and a satisfactory oral defense of the thesis before the graduate committee.
    2. At least 36 hours of graduate course work and successfully pass an examination over the course work prepared by the student’s graduate committee.
  2. Include at least three courses from among the following : MATH 5310 Theory of Functions of Real Variables, MATH 5312 Complex Variables or 5350 Complex Variables, 数学5320现代代数, 数学5340拓扑.

Master of Science in Computational and Quantitative Methods

Students applying for a Masters of Science in Computational and Quantitative Methods will take courses allowing them to use modern tools and technologies to analyze large data sets, 产生可能的趋势, and make informed decisions based on the analysis.  Students attaining this degree will can find jobs in a variety or sectors such as technology, 公共卫生, 业务, 保险, 和银行.  T在这里 is also the possibility of getting an internship in your course of study for this degree.  To see recommended courses for the two emphases (Predictive Analytics or Mathematical Finance) the program offers click 在这里.  联系josousvega - guzman (穆.vegaguzman@jsllaw.net)查阅更多资料.

支持

支持 is available at the level of $12,000 per nine month period with the possibility of additional summer support for highly qualified candidates. 十大电子游艺网站排行's tuition and course fees are well below the state average and the Golden Triangle region has a low cost of living. Potential duties include working in our tutoring lab, teaching under the direction of a faculty member, and full responsibility for a class for those students who have completed eighteen hours of graduate study in mathematics.

教师

The department supports a wide range of courses and yet remains small enough for students to receive individual attention from faculty. Our graduate faculty members have interests in:
