Applied and Computational Mathematics (BSc) Program at a Glance

Learn to use

• advanced mathematical algorithms
• on high performance computers
• to solve real-world problems.

Simulating reality in a virtual laboratory has emerged as a third major pillar beside the theoretical and experimental sciences and increasingly leaves its traditional roots in physics and engineering.

Accordingly, ACM at Jacobs offers, alongside a solid classical training, the opportunity for specialization in

• Computational Biology,
• Computational Mathematics, and
• Mathematical Finance.

During the first year, general (introductory) lectures and lab courses are mandatory. As outlined in the handbook, the students select more courses from a variety of electives from the School of Engineering and Science (SES) or from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS). In addition, so-called University Studies Courses (USCs) have to be selected which are taught by professors from both Schools. They are unique in that here perspectives from apparently different areas of science are brought together.

For a full listing of the Course Requirements of the Undergraduate Applied and Computational Mathematics Program please see the program handbook.
