 Mathematics School of Science

As an applied mathematics major you’ll learn to formulate and analyze mathematical abstractions of real world problems. You will choose one of three tracks to pursue: classical applied math, math modeling and analytics in the natural science, or statistics. Through a selection of elective courses, you'll be able to dive into a specialized curriculum that suits your interests.

Applied Mathematics is much more than just numbers. Your foundational knowledge, coupled with real-world problem solving skills and Siena’s liberal arts foundation will prepare you to emerge as a leader in the field of mathematics, or set you on a path to further your career through advanced study.

Programs offered:

  • B.A. in Applied Mathematics
  • B.S. in Applied Mathematics

Explaining One Frame at a Time

3Blue1Brown is an educational YouTube channel that uses videos to teach lessons in higher mathematics from a visual perspective. To date, the channel has produced more than 200 videos and has attracted nearly 8 million subscribers, proving that “animated math” is a useful tool in the classroom. With 3Blue1Brown as the model, Eva Pflomm '28 created her own math explainer video. She wrote the script, recorded a voiceover, and even recorded a jam session on piano and guitar for the intro music. Eva’s video will be entered in the 2025 Summer of Math Exposition contest. 

Your Future Success

There are a wide variety of career paths available for Siena's applied mathematics majors. Saints studying classical applied math may want to become a Mathematical Physicist, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, or a Technical Writer. Modeling and analytics in the natural sciences students may pursue careers as Climatologists, Epidemiologists, Biostatisticians, or Computer systems analysts. Students studying statistics may become Actuaries, Biostatisticians, Financial Market Analysts, or Operations Research Analysts.
