Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods to real world problems.
It is applied to such fields as physics, engineering, medicine, biology, business,
computer science, and industry. It may be used to address many global issues such
as making solar energy economical, engineering better medicines, controlling emerging
diseases, making decisions on fair policymaking, controlling organized crime networks,
and reverse global warming. Applied mathematicians are employed in businesses, industries,
national scientific laboratories, etc. They are employed in academia as professors
who may also collaborate with businesses and industries on research projects. Download a copy of the Math Science Track.
