Graduate studies offer diverse possibilities aligned with faculty expertise, with over one hundred specialists across fourteen departments spanning Engineering, Arts & Sciences, Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management. Students can further broaden their academic focus through minor subject selections. The Applied Mathematics program admits graduate students with robust mathematical backgrounds, primarily considering those pursuing a Ph.D. Typically comprising around forty students, the program spans four to five years.
Scientific computing involves applying advanced numerical methods to complex scientific and engineering challenges, making it integral to Cornell's applied mathematics research. Numerical analysis focuses specifically on developing these techniques while evaluating their precision, stability, and computational demands. Researchers commonly explore differential equations, optimization problems, and foundational linear algebra applications—all active areas of study within Cornell's applied mathematics community.
