What is Applied Mathematics?
Applied mathematics involves the utilization of mathematical tools to address real-world scientific challenges while also advancing and perfecting these methodologies. The arsenal of an applied mathematician encompasses a diverse array of techniques, including modeling, analytical methods, approximation methods, computational methods, and others. These multifaceted elements of applied mathematics are seamlessly integrated into research across numerous domains, such as physics, biology, medicine, fluid mechanics, economics, image processing, and information processing. Interestingly, common mathematical structures frequently emerge in problems spanning various fields, illustrating the interconnectedness of subjects like fluid mechanics and game theory.
About the program
This one-of-a-kind program welcomes students from diverse backgrounds and degrees, providing a tailor-made study experience alongside esteemed researchers hailing from almost every faculty at the Technion.
Focused Start, Diverse Choices
Begin your master’s journey with a focused first semester of advanced coursework in applied mathematics. You’ll gain essential skills in areas like perturbation and numerical methods, and our unique research seminar will expose you to a wide range of cutting-edge topics from leading researchers. This initial phase is designed to build a strong foundation and spark your intellectual curiosity.
Connect with a Research Advisor
As the first semester concludes, you’ll connect with a research supervisor from an extensive pool of about 70 leading researchers across nearly every Technion faculty. This wide selection means you’re likely to find a mentor whose specialized knowledge perfectly complements your research interests, whether they’re in engineering, physics, computer science, life sciences, or beyond.
Tailored Plan, Dedicated Research
Collaborate with your advisor to create a personalized study plan that perfectly supports your research goals, blending theoretical depth with practical application. The following summer and your entire second year will be primarily dedicated to in-depth research, allowing you to fully immerse yourself and make significant contributions.
You’re in the right place! If you’re an undergraduate student with a strong interest in mathematics and its applications, there are several ways to get involved and prepare for future research:
● Take Advanced Courses
Enroll in upper-level applied mathematics courses to build a solid foundation in theory and computation. Course list.
● Join Research Projects
Many faculty members welcome motivated undergraduates to join their research groups, typically in the framework of a projects course. This is a great way to gain hands-on experience, explore different fields: Open projects
● Participate in Summer Programs
Look out for summer research opportunities and internships at the Technion and beyond. These programs offer immersive experiences in real research environments.
● Take the expository course and connect with Mentors
Reach out to faculty members whose work interests you. A short conversation can open doors to exciting opportunities. For Example the course “Selected topics in applied Mathematics” (1980014)
Curiosity and initiative are your best tools—start exploring now and you’ll be well-prepared to join the program when the time comes!
