Join the Global First Year in Mathematical Sciences at FIU! Tailored support for international students. Apply now for a successful career!
Program Description FIU Global First Year Program combines credit-bearing courses from the first year of your degree with additional support services, instruction tailored to your academic and language level, and cultural experiences, helping ensure your future success. Furthermore, the Global First Year experience provides more than academic, language and cultural growth. Also, with the included Career Accelerator program, you can also gain valuable professional skills that prepare you for a successful career. The Career Accelerator is designed specifically for international students: Four semesters of professional development and career guidance Skills-based training and opportunities for exclusive internships Unique workshops, real-world experiences and cross-cultural group work The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences with a Major in Statistics. The Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences is a very broadly defined major that provides a core of Applied Mathematics, together with additional utilitarian knowledge from the fields of Statistics and Computer Science, to provide tools to enable the graduate to implement practical solutions to mathematical problems typically encountered by educators, government officials, scientists, engineers, and other professionals. A graduate is expected to be able to pursue a career in science, industry, or business. Upon the graduation, students will be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the basic theoretical knowledge, the essential structures and computational techniques of Linear Algebra. Demonstrate a core knowledge of Elementary Ordinary Differential Equations and Classical Partial Differential Equations, their applications, and their solutions by several well-understood techniques. Apply a basic theoretical knowledge and computation techniques from the core areas of Discrete Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, Theory of Algorithms, and Applied Statistics. Apply a knowledge of a high level programming language and the related computer systems in constructing computer programs to solve applied mathematical or statistical problems. Use statistical software appropriately in performing statistical analyses.
