Industry and business provide many areas for the application of advanced mathematics, and many possibilities for mathematicians to make significant contributions. New Mexico Tech offers a program to prepare students for these opportunities. Students need a basic background in numerical analysis, differential equations, and statistics at the undergraduate level. The graduate requirements are:
1) Modeling Courses
Earn at least 3 credits from the following:
2) Core Industrial Mathematics Courses
Two of the following (Earn at least 6 credits from the following):
course - Numerical Methods for PDEs
course - Convex Optimiz Nonlinear Prgmg
course - Perturbation Methods
course - Methods of Mathematical Physic
course - Bifurcation Theory
course - Wave Phenomena
course - Statistical Machine Learning
course - Analy. of Time Series & Spat.
3) A concentration of four related courses (12 credits), at least two at the 5000-level (beyond the two in requirement 2) and at least two in one other department, and additional courses to satisfy the general requirements of the Master of Science degree. The courses to satisfy this requirement must be approved by the student’s advisory committee.
4) Each student spends one term, usually summer, in an internship in an industrial position. This internship is arranged by the student, with the approval of the student’s advisory committee and should involve mathematical modeling, computation and analysis.
