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

Mathematical models find extensive application across natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering disciplines, spanning physics, bioinformatics, robotics, image analysis, and economics. While mathematical contexts and uses vary widely, fundamental principles and methods form the backbone of problem-solving approaches. The Applied Mathematics program equips students with these essential mathematical tools while preparing them for practical implementation in specialized domains. This interdisciplinary major offers significant customization options, catering both to science and engineering students seeking deeper mathematical understanding, and mathematics/statistics enthusiasts wanting to explore real-world applications. The curriculum incorporates foundational courses from Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science, and Engineering and Applied Science. Application-focused coursework may include offerings from Applied Physics, Astronomy, various biological sciences (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Biophysics, Cellular and Developmental Biology), Chemistry, Economics, multiple engineering disciplines (Biomedical, Chemical, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical, and Materials Science), Earth and Planetary Sciences, Physics, as well as Linguistics and Political Science. The degree mandates a three-course specialization in a mathematics-intensive field.
