Program Overview

Program Description:

The University of Central Florida offers a Master of Science degree in Mathematical Science and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Mathematics. Both degrees are intended to provide a broad base in applied and industrial mathematics. The master's program offers a track in Industrial Mathematics to prepare graduate students to pursue careers in industry by providing them with high quality professional training in branches of mathematics that are valuable to high-technology industry. Graduates of the program will be able to pursue a wide variety of industrial jobs at the local and national levels. Students in the doctoral program specialize in one of many different aspects of mathematics, including propagation through random media, nonlinear waves, graph theory, operator algebra and frame theory, tomography, approximation theory, differential equations, nonlinear dynamics and mathematical physics, as well as abstract algebra, real and complex analysis, and probability theory. In response to this wide variety of interests, the program offers more flexibility in the composition of the core as well as the qualifying examination. The program is comprehensive with opportunities for prospective students to pursue research in a variety of disciplines.
