Research<\/h2>\n

\u200b\u200bThe Applied Mathematics and Statistics faculty welcome students interested in doing research. The course 553.101 Freshman Experience in Applied Mathematics and Statistics is an excellent way to meet faculty in very small groups, and topics discussed might lead to research. Also, there is an upper-level class 553.401 Introduction to Research which guides students through the research process and has often led to publications in good journals and presentations at national conferences. In addition, the applied mathematics club, HUSAM, has in the past organized events where faculty present research projects that are ready made for undergraduate involvement. Students should feel comfortable introducing themselves and meeting faculty to discuss research opportunities.\u200b<\/p>\n

Activities<\/h2>\n

The department encourages teams of interested undergraduate students to compete in the COMAP (Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications) International Mathematical Contest in Modeling. The teams tackle a given problem (for example, determining the optimal deployment of tollbooths for the New Jersey Turnpike), formulate an approach, and write a detailed report over the course of a weekend; the reports are examined and ranked by a panel of judges.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The department also has an active club called HUSAM \u2013 Hopkins Undergraduate Society for Applied Mathematics<\/a> \u2013 which has many opportunities for student participation, involvement, and leadership. The club sponsors and organizes events that help undergraduate students to network, learn about professional and research opportunities, and discover the many different disciplines where applied mathematics plays a key role. Recent events include a discussion panel composed of Johns Hopkins alumni actuaries, a presentation by a vice president of a major financial institution, an exploration of opportunities in the mathematics group at a national defense agency, and a look inside a major operations research consulting firm.<\/span><\/p>\n

** EN.553.101 The Freshman Experience in Applied Mathematics and Statistics aims to provide students with an opportunity to work on an interesting project or interesting topic in a small group setting together with an AMS faculty member.<\/p>\n

*** We want our students to learn how to recognize a proof and do them on their own. This skill is emphasized in the Discrete\u202fMathematics courses, EN.553.171\/EN.553.172, which can be used to meet the requirement of at least one course in discrete mathematics.<\/p>\n

The above-mentioned courses have only high school mathematics as a prerequisite.<\/p>\n

Most courses that can be used to satisfy the requirements for the departmental major\u202fhave Calculus I and II as prerequisites, and at least Calculus III and Linear Algebra as a co-requisite. Students should plan on completing the calculus sequence and taking a course in linear algebra (Linear Algebra for Data Science\u202f553.295 or Linear Algebra 110.201).<\/p>\n
