Overview
The program is tightly integrated with diverse, ongoing, university-wide research on complex adaptive system science at Arizona State University and emphasizes the value of a complex adaptive perspective to give better insight and a more active role in seeking solutions to a broad array of critical issues facing society today.
Students become fluent in the common language of complexity while also receiving a solid foundation in the domain knowledge of existing academic disciplines.
Career Opportunities
The degree program in Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences (Complex Adaptive Systems Science) prepares students to enter the environmental, life, health, mathematical and social science fields. Graduates of the program possess the quantitative, scientific and analytical skills that are critical for professionals working in these areas.
This degree's applied use of mathematics, modeling, statistics and simulation methodologies are in high demand and provide excellent training for future academics and professionals in industries including:
- bioinformatics
- computational sciences
- ecology
- genomics
- mathematical analysis
- mathematical epidemiology
- nonlinear dynamics
- population dynamics
- social science fields
Programme Structure
There are three tracks a student can follow:
- Applied mathematics is a more in-depth focus on the tools applied to the life and social sciences, such as dynamical systems, computational and numerical methods, simulation and mathematical analysis.
- Life sciences focuses on understanding the tools for representing the structure and operation of complex biological and ecological processes.
- Social sciences focuses on understanding the tools for representing the structure and operation of complex social systems and processes.
