Program Description 

An applied math degree at Rockhurst University serves as a marriage between the mathematical sciences and what many call “the real world.” In an inclusive classroom, our students apply fundamental mathematics to problems in specific areas of study and industry. Our applied mathematics courses encourage innovative thinking, workable solutions, and pave the way for lucrative and practical careers in mathematics.


What is Applied Mathematics?

While it may sound simple, applied mathematics is exactly what the words state: the application of mathematics to an industry or area of study. Whether it’s engineering, linguistics, or even performance art, the application of mathematical sciences can provide answers and solutions that improve efficiency and inspire creativity.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Applied Mathematics students will demonstrate proficiency of mathematics in areas including Algebra, Statistics, Calculus, Number Theory, and Differential Equations
  • Demonstrate their understanding of mathematical sciences through their ability to engage in rigorous mathematical thinking as well as authentic problem-solving.
  • Solve problems in novel settings using applied mathematics, preparing them for a variety of careers in mathematics.
  • Independently read mathematics in order to engage in mathematical reasoning.
  • Effectively communicate applied mathematics ideas in both writing and orally.
  • Appropriately use technology to support and illustrate their mathematical investigations and problem-solving.
