Computational mathematical and statistical sciences (CMPS) involves exploring, developing, running simulations, and applying models to address scientific and engineering challenges. Our department's wide-ranging research possibilities are strengthened by collaborative faculty projects across Marquette University's science and engineering departments, as well as partnerships with Milwaukee-area research facilities and medical centers. The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences provides both Master's and Doctoral programs in Computational Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. This discipline focuses on creating, applying, and utilizing computational methods to tackle both practical and theoretical problems in mathematics and statistics. This often includes inventing new computational approaches, designing software, or building computer systems to handle complex, large-scale challenges.
Our curriculum prepares students with a unique combination of theoretical knowledge and computational expertise for careers in industry, research institutions, and academia. While most coursework occurs within our department, student research can explore computational applications across numerous disciplines.
Few comparable programs exist nationwide, typically sharing similar names but differing in focus based on their available resources. Each provides students with interdisciplinary environments where the primary objective is solving scientific problems using cutting-edge computational methods.
