Mathematics - Master's Degree

Master's Degree program in Mathematics

Nothing lasts forever. Except mathematics! Mathematics is the foundation for all the sciences as well as technology. As an example, consider prospecting for oil.

Sound waves are sent into the ocean floor and reflected sound is recorded. In order to interpret the signals and to obtain an idea of the geological formation below the ocean floor, one has to solve differential equations. Another example is in the design of optical fiber cabels. A third example is internet security.
