Mathematics deals with abstraction, logic, and quantitative reasoning. Because it has applications to nearly every branch of science and engineering, it’s essential for mathematicians to think about how their work infiltrates other branches of learning. Advances in physics — for example, those in electromagnetism and thermodynamics — often resonate deeply with mathematics. At the School of Engineering, the BS in Applied Physics and Mathematics program serves as a means to bridge these 2 disciplines. The dual major allows students to gain a foothold in separate but substantial fields. In addition to learning the fundamentals of physics and math, students pursue a specialized course of study that a minor in either field just can’t match. But it's important that these skills transfer over to the real world. That’s why this program provides internship opportunities at major financial, insurance, and technology firms in the New York area.
