Applied Mathematics Data Science Concentration
-
Program Overview
If you are interested in a career in modeling and forecasting real-world events, you could pursue a concentration in data science.
Data science is a quickly-growing field with a wide variety of applications. Different aspects of the data science project lifecycle include the acquisition and preparation of data, followed by the development, testing, and revision of a model, and finishing with the interpretation and implementation of the results. Data science is also closely related to and overlaps with AI and machine learning, which are at the forefront of academia, industry, and society.
