Presently, the Department of Science and Mathematics offers degrees in Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Computer Science. Each degree program provides students with a strong foundation in its discipline and emphasizes the application of knowledge in several areas of engineering, optics, applied mathematics and basic science. The development of the student to function in a highly competitive technological environment is a top priority of the Department of Science and Mathematics. Students seeking degrees in the Department of Science and Mathematics should meet with their academic advisors regularly to review their academic progress toward their degree. Such meetings can help eliminate confusion about degree requirements. The ultimate responsibility for knowing degree requirements rests with the student. APPLIED MATHEMATICS Leszek Gawarecki, Ph.D., Program Director Room 2-324 AB, 810-762-9557 lgawarec@kettering.edu APPLIED MATHEMATICS OVERVIEW Mathematics is the universal language of engineering, science, and management. Students majoring in applied mathematics at Kettering University select a concentration in applied and computational mathematics or applied statistics. The degree is very flexible in serving the interests of business and industry, preparing the student for a wide variety of careers. The degree also provides a sound preparation for graduate study. Kettering graduates in applied mathematics appreciate their broad-based education because it enables them to work easily with engineers, managers, and scientists. They can contribute to team approaches to problem solving. Students with concentrations in applied and computational mathematics will study classical and modern mathematical topics related to scientific and engineering disciplines. Courses are included that emphasize the modeling of physical systems from theoretical and practical perspectives as well as practical scientific computations. The student will also complete a sequence of engineering applications or computer science courses related to the special interests of the student. Students with concentration in applied statistics will study modern statistical methods related to the acquisition, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data. Courses are included that emphasize theory and application of probability, statistics, and mathematical modeling. This program also provides excellent preparation for the student interested in starting a career in the actuarial profession. The curriculum for applied mathematics includes core mathematics courses that are common to both concentrations. These courses make up about one quarter of the total credits in the program. Considerable emphasis is placed on additional core courses in science, management and humanities. The applied mathematics student interacts regularly with engineering departments through core and other required courses appropriate to the concentrations in applied and computational mathematics and applied statistics. A substantial number of electives provides flexibility for greater breadth or depth of study in mathematics or its applications. In addition to the major in applied mathematics, there are available minors in applied and computational mathematics and applied statistics. Because of the strong mathematical content of Kettering’s other degree programs, it is possible for many students to complete one of these minors with a modest amount of additional course work.
