Master's degree in Applied Mathematics
What's a focus area?
It is a field in applied mathematics on which students can focus.
It is composed of different courses which can be freely chosen.
What's an application area?
It is a group of lectures to a specific topic.
It has to be chosen at the beginning of the studies.
It is listed in the course catalogue.
Curriculum Example
Description
Modern mathematics is driven by the need for abstract and quantitative modeling and prediction in engineering and the sciences.
New disciplines are shaped by employing sophisticated mathematical models and are continuously joining established areas that use mathematical formalism in modeling and prediction. An increasing number of industries employ mathematical models and techniques in their research and product development.
The range and sophistication of mathematical tools brought to bear in industry and the sciences is increasing.
Judicious development and use of mathematical models in industry and the sciences requires education of mathematicians who are able to bring to bear mathematical methods and interact with experts in application areas outside of mathematics.
The Master's degree in Applied Mathematics responds to this need.
It is based on the following principles:
- Mathematical
modeling requires mastery of advanced mathematical and numerical
methods from several core mathematical disciplines.
Mathematicians trained in the ETH Applied Mathematics Curriculum will be first and foremost strong mathematicians with excellent command of mathematical modeling and computational techniques.
- Teaching in Applied Mathematics will be performed by the ETH Applied Mathematics Faculty.
It is composed of faculty from D-MATH of ETH and faculty from those departments of ETH and UNIZH which are current application areas in the Curriculum.
Requirements
The requirements for the
Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics are similar to the Master's
degree in Mathematics, but students are required to focus to a certain
extent on an area of Applied Mathematics called focus area. In addition, students acquire substantial knowledge on one application area. Minimum requirements include
- 28 credits from core courses and electives, of which 16 are from core courses and 15 from fields of Applied Mathematics and/or other application oriented areas (e.g. focus areas)
- 8 credits from the selected application area
- 14 credits from seminars and semester papers, including one semester paper relevant to the chosen application area
The programme concludes with a Master’s thesis (30 credits).
Graduates hold the academic title Master of Science ETH in Applied Mathematics.
