应用数学哲学博士

该系提供广泛的古典和现代应用数学和统计学博士学位研究。录取这些课程的前提是必须具备扎实的数学和/或统计学背景。博士生将继续进行高级研究和论文研究，并在任何部门领域或跨学科领域进行专业研究。在应用数学中特别强调以下领域：微分方程和应用，数值分析和科学计算，动力学系统，随机过程，数学生物学，优化理论和算法。在统计方面，重点领域是：贝叶斯分析，生物统计学，数据挖掘，实验设计，环境统计，非参数统计，可靠性，空间统计和图像分析，统计决策理论和推论，生存分析，时间序列分析。
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers graduate programs leading to the Master's (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in both Applied Mathematics and Statistics. The department has had an active graduate program in applied mathematics since 1970. It expanded to include a full graduate program in statistics in 1984. The strength of these programs lies in its graduate faculty, who are actively engaged in research in applications of mathematics and statistics in a wide variety of real-world problems, as well as in investigations of fundamental and theoretical questions. The faculty designs and implements courses and curricula with emphasis on innovative research directed toward practical applications, as mandated by the charter from the University System of Maryland Board of Regents.
