Physical Applied Mathematics is a term which generally refers to the study of mathematical problems with direct physical application. This area of research is intrinsically interdisciplinary. In addition to mathematical analysis, it requires a deep understanding of the underlying applications area, and usually requires knowledge and experience in numerical computation. The Program's affiliated faculty have a wide variety of expertise in various areas of application, e.g. atmospheric and fluid dynamics, theoretical physics, plasma physics, genetic structure etc. The course requirements of the Program are designed to provide students with a foundation for their study (analysis and computation). The Program also requires supplemental courses in one of the science or engineering fields which are needed to begin doing thesis research in physical applied mathematics.
