Best Colleges in Applied Mathematics Program

This page introduces the top colleges in Applied Mathematics program. New York University is ranked first in Applied Mathematics program ranking and University of California-Los Angeles is placed in second. Next describes the Applied Mathematics program in general.

Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that concerns itself with mathematical methods that are typically used in science, engineering, business, and industry. Thus, "applied mathematics" is a mathematical science with specialized knowledge. The term "applied mathematics" also describes the professional specialty in which mathematicians work on practical problems; as a profession focused on practical problems, applied mathematics focuses on the formulation and study of mathematical models. In the past, practical applications have motivated the development of mathematical theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics, where mathematics is developed primarily for its own sake. Thus, the activity of applied mathematics is vitally connected with research in pure mathematics.[read more at wiki]
