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 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
