Applied Mathematics and Statistics
Applied Mathematics and Statistics Is Needed by All Organizations.
Due to the growing relevance of technology, big data, and economic efficiency, expert numerical analysts are increasingly in demand.
While obtaining a degree in Applied Mathematics you will become a master of analysis and problem-solving, honing your quantitative skills. You'll gain valuable experience through research opportunities and guaranteed internships.
Top Reasons
Collaborative Research
FSC’s mathematics instructors specialize in a broad range of areas and topics. You’ll go beyond classroom learning and engage in research with faculty as you develop your professional credentials by presenting your collaborative research findings at regional, national, and international conferences.
Learning Community
First-year students develop camaraderie with other math majors through learning communities. These specialized groups are focused on problem-based, integrative, and collaborative learning.
Modern Computer Laboratories
FSC’s computer laboratories enable students to learn and practice the skills necessary for a liberal arts education and career in our technologically oriented society.

Participating in a Differential Equations Modeling Challenge
SCUDEM hosted by SIMIODE
The challenge is comprised of students in teams of three choosing a problem to model. Each team has a few weeks to develop a model and analyze it. At the end of the time, all the teams present their solutions for other teams to see. This type of event is a great way to meet students from other schools and to see how other students thought about the same problem. FSC has been participating in SCUDEM since 2019. The teams that completed the challenge in 2019 and in 2020 both published their model summaries as experiential articles.

Clubs And More
The mathematics department has the Math Club, a mathematical interest club.
The math club at FSC aims to host several events each semester for majors and students interested in math can hang out and study together. Some of the activities the math club has hosted are a final review with pizza, coffee and donuts at the beginning of the semester, and game night and ice cream social.
