Mathematics Combined Degrees

The world is becoming increasingly quantitative. Mathematics plays a crucial role in deciding policies that affect our lives, policies ranging from health and the environment to multi-million dollar investments. Organizations are depending more and more on quantitative reasoning and complex mathematical models to solve their problems.

UNT's mathematics programs will give you the skills you need to work on important, challenging real-world problems in a broad range of highly paid positions in business, industry, government and education. Because math skills have a wide variety of applications, students are required to select a minor, complete the actuariay science certificate, or complete a second major.

With an undergraduate mathematics degree, you can:

• develop new models for evaluating stock options and pricing derivatives,
• create state-of-the-art techniques for predicting atmospheric reactions and transport of chemical pollution,
• improve algorithms for computer-aided aircraft design,
• design procedures for DNA and protein sequencing,
• develop image and voice recognition systems,
• help prepare the next generation for the analytically demanding world by teaching mathematics.

Faculty members conduct research in a variety of areas in pure and applied mathematics, including:

• Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
• Machine Learning
• Numerical Analysis
• Optimization
• Uncertainty Quantification
• Conformal, Holomorphic, and Meromorphic Dynamical systems
• Conformal Iterated Functions Systems
• Ergodic Theory and Topological Dynamics
• Open Dynamical Systems

The M.S. degree provides a deeper understanding of mathematical theory and techniques for use in a wide variety of academic and non-academic careers.

In addition to mathematical training, you’ll have opportunities to develop advanced instructional skills. These opportunities include a comprehensive training course for teaching fellows focusing on all types of instructional issues.
