Department of Mathematics

HS Mathematics Research Enrichment Program begins July 7. Apply by June 5.

This free year-long program introduces high school students to the world of mathematical research. begins July 7 with a two-week intensive summer camp (July 7–9 and July 14–16) at our Long Island and/or New York City campus. It continues with projects and virtual mentoring throughout the school year, culminating with a judged poster presentation at our annual Math Day.

Mathematics is more than numbers—it’s the foundation of innovation and problem-solving. Our Applied and Computational Mathematics major empowers you to transform theory into tools that shape technology, science, and society. Through research, advanced computation, and real-world applications, you’ll develop the skills to tackle complex challenges and make a lasting impact.

¶®É«µÛ Department of Mathematics offers a Bachelor of Science in Applied and Computational Mathematics with two concentrations:

We also offer a 4+1 Accelerated B.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics leading to an M.S. in Data Science. Our 16-credit Mathematics Minor is recommended for mechanical, electrical, computer science, and biomedical engineering majors.

Our major goes beyond theory, combining mathematics, science, and computational skills to solve real-world problems in science and engineering. Upper-level courses feature project-based learning, and students are encouraged to collaborate with faculty on research in areas of shared interest. Our graduates enter the job market with cutting-edge expertise, paving the way for successful careers.

By building a strong foundation in applied and computational mathematics—through tools like multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, statistics, and machine learning—combined with knowledge of the sciences and computer programming, you’ll be prepared to tackle real-world problems and deliver practical results. Studying mathematics puts you in the driver’s seat to impact future advances in today’s rapidly changing world.
