The Mathematical Foundations of Data Science Concentration within the Applied Mathematics BS program equips students with the mathematical tools and computational techniques essential for data science. Through theoretical and project-based learning, students apply mathematical models, algorithms, and statistical methods to analyze and interpret real-world data. The concentration prepares students to tackle complex data challenges across various industries, with a strong foundation in the mathematics that drives data science.

Students interested in this program should first discuss it with the Director of Undergraduate Programs in Mathematics, Dr. Duca.
