APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Middlesex College 255, Tel: 519-661-3649
Web site: www.apmaths.uwo.ca

Applied Mathematicians model the behaviour of phenomena in the natural or social sciences in order to understand them and make predictions. The phenomena occur in such widely differing areas as the dispersal of pollutants in the environment, the flow of blood in arteries, interactions among subatomic particles, and the behaviour of financial markets. These are all studied in the Department of Applied Mathematics.

To become an Applied Mathematician you should develop a strong grounding in useful mathematics, skill in using computational methods, and a knowledge of some area in the natural or social sciences that you are interested in modelling. Each of the programs described below is designed to combine these three basic features: applicable mathematics, numerical and computational methods, and area of application. They differ in the balance among these three and in areas of application.

If you are interested in pursuing such possibilities, you should consult a counsellor in the Department of Applied Mathematics. You may find that there is a program here that suits your interests immediately. Alternatively, the programs as described here can be altered with the consent of the Department if certain course substitutions are better suited for your particular career objective.

Science/BMSc Internship Program
The Science/BMSc Internship Program includes a series of preparatory sessions, an 8-16 month practical career-related experience in an employment setting, and a post-internship component. All students enrolled in the 3rd year of a 4-year undergraduate Science or Medical Sciences Honors Specialization, Specialization, or in a Major + Major combination [where at least one of the Majors is in Science or Medical Sciences] or students who are enroled in the 3rd year of a 4-year BSc or BSc (Hons) program, are eligible to enroll in the Science/BMSc Internship Program, if they satisfy the eligibility requirements.
