BA in Applied Mathematics in New Haven United States | Yale University

Mathematical models find extensive application across natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering disciplines, spanning areas like physics, bioinformatics, robotics, image analysis, and economics. While mathematical contexts and uses vary widely, they share fundamental principles and problem-solving approaches. The Applied Mathematics program equips students with these essential mathematical tools while preparing them for practical implementation in specialized fields. This interdisciplinary major offers considerable customization, catering both to students interested in the mathematical dimensions of science/engineering and those focused on mathematics/statistics who want exposure to real-world applications. Core curriculum includes offerings from Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science, and Engineering and Applied Science. Application-focused courses may be selected from participating departments including Applied Physics, Astronomy, various biological sciences (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Molecular/Cellular/Developmental Biology), Chemistry, Economics, multiple engineering disciplines (Biomedical, Chemical, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science), Earth and Planetary Sciences, Physics, as well as Linguistics and Political Science. The Applied Mathematics degree mandates a three-course specialization in a mathematics-applied field.
