Mathematical Sciences 1 Mathematical Sciences NJIT’s nationally recognized Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a B.S. degree in mathematical sciences with concentrations in applied mathematics, applied statistics, computational mathematics, mathematical biology, and mathematics of finance and actuarial science; a B.S. in data science (statistics concentration); an M.S. in applied mathematics; an M.S. in applied statistics; and a Ph.D. in mathematical sciences with tracks in applied mathematics and applied probability and statistics. A seven-year accelerated B.S./M.D. program in mathematical sciences is also offered as well as several double major B.S. programs. In addition to its own degree programs, the department serves the university by providing courses in mathematics required for programs in various technological and scientific disciplines. The diverse research interests of department faculty include mathematical biology, mathematical fluid dynamics, linear and nonlinear waves, electromagnetics, optics, acoustics, applied statistics, and numerical analysis. This work is supported by substantial funding from sources such as the NSF, NIH, ONR, AFOSR, NASA, DOE, Simons Foundation, and the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (Fulbright Foundation).
