Department Description

The Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AM&S) is devoted to the study and development of mathematical disciplines especially oriented to the complex problems of modern society, including the fields of medicine, telecommunications, information technology, image analysis, pattern recognition, process control, financial services, and robotics.

Because mathematics is central to all aspects of engineering and science, many students from other departments also enroll in AMS courses.

The department’s broad undergraduate and graduate curriculum emphasizes five branches of modern applied mathematics: probability, statistics, operations research, optimization, and discrete mathematics. Other curricular and research areas include computing, matrix theory, and numerical analysis.

In addition to the above areas of study, the department also includes the Whiting School’s Center for Leadership Education, which offers a very popular minor in Entrepreneurship and Management, a program in Professional Communication, and courses including Introduction to Business, Business Ethics, Principles of Marketing, Business Law, and Principles of Management.

Nikhil Ram Mohan ’09, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, double major in Psychology at the School of Arts & Sciences

"I came to Hopkins because I was interested in medicine and math," says Nikhil, a sophomore working at the Center for Imaging Science. "We are interested in determining the different neurobiological correlates of psychological disorders and doing so using various statistical techniques such as Landmark matching on high resolution MRI's"…
