The Mathematics Department offers a distinctive master of arts program in pure and applied mathematics. Students gain experience with current mathematical software and technology, and may study computational mathematics in conjunction with the Computer and Information Science Department. Students who do not wish to pursue university-level teaching and research careers may elect to develop expertise in financial mathematics to obtain the marketable credentials for work in the financial industry. Mathematics Department faculty develop and conduct high quality research and participate in the mathematics and urban education doctoral programs of The Graduate Center of The City University of New York.
