The major in computer and mathematical modeling encourages student research, fostering new creative contexts for application of theory to real world applied problems. Career opportunities for program graduates will be widened as well. Selected upper division course sequences emphasizing applied topics will provide exposure to concepts and technical materials not usually covered in standard math and computer science majors. With the assistance of major facilities in our area, senior internships will allow students the opportunity for mentored projects design and participation in a group problem-solving environment as well as providing students with the opportunity to establish valuable connections and references. Features of this interdisciplinary major are three specialty tracks of applied upper division investigation: modern cryptography, discrete dynamical systems and chaos and applied multivariate statistics.
