Mathematicians and statisticians analyze data and apply mathematical and statistical techniques to help solve real-world problems in business, engineering, healthcare, and other fields. Governors State’s Master of Science in Mathematics covers a wide range of mathematics including abstract algebra, probability and statistics, combinatorics, advanced calculus, Artificial Intelligence (AI), the history of mathematics, financial mathematics, and mathematical modeling while emphasizing both the applied and theoretical aspects of these disciplines.

Reach your career goals.

As a student of the Mathematics M.S., you will receive intensive training in both applied and theoretical mathematics, allowing you to focus your professional goals in your academic interests.

Applied mathematicians typically work in alignment with individuals in other occupations—such as chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and industrial designers—to test and analyze product effectiveness.

Theoretical mathematicians study theoretical or abstract mathematical concepts as they identify, research, and resolve unexplained issues in mathematics. They are concerned primarily with exploring new areas and relationships of mathematical theories to increase knowledge and understanding about the field.
