The Department has created a data analysis and applied statistics master's degree to help meet overwhelming demand for data scientists in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. The courses, which will be conducted out of Virginia Tech's Falls Church facility in Northern Virginia, will provide professional in the Washington, D.C., region with ...
The term finite mathematics is sometimes applied to parts of the field of discrete mathematics that deals with finite sets, particularly those areas relevant to business. Research in discrete mathematics increased in the latter half of the twentieth century partly due to the development of digital computers which operate in "discrete" steps and ...
Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as physics, engineering, medicine, biology, finance, business, computer science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge.
