What Will You Learn in a Computational Mathematics Graduate Program?

AI Thread Summary
Graduate programs in computational mathematics typically encompass a blend of mathematical theory, numerical analysis, and programming skills. Key components often include courses in numerical methods, optimization, mathematical modeling, and data analysis. Programs may also emphasize practical applications in fields such as engineering, physics, and finance. Familiarity with programming languages is essential, as computational mathematics relies heavily on algorithm development and software implementation. Prospective students are encouraged to explore detailed course offerings from various universities, such as Johns Hopkins, to understand specific curriculum structures and focus areas within the discipline.

I am going to graduate school for math and i think i am interested in computational mathematics (I say think because i don't fully know what computational math is). I have taken a numerical analysis class in my undergraduate program and i can program in a few different languages.

I'm just wondering what different people think is included in a computational mathematics graduate program?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


A Google search for "ms computational mathematics" gives me the web sites of a number of such programs. The first one is Johns Hopkins, which has a link to "detailed program and course information." I didn't look at any of the other sites, but I expect they contain similar information.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
