How to Mathematize the World Around Us: A Discussion with RIT’s Applied Math Master’s Program

Online - Thursday, May 28th 1-2pm

Participate in a discussion about how math can be used to more efficiently predict the COVID-19 outbreak and learn how math modeling and other applied math specialties are used in the real world.

• Dr. Nate Barlow will discuss his new study, published in Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, that outlines a solution to the SIR epidemic model, which is commonly used to predict how many people are susceptible to, infected by, and recovered from viral epidemics.
• Dr. Kara Maki will explain math modeling which is applied to real-world problems in a wide variety of industries. 
• Dr. Michael Cromer will provide an overview of the M.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics, a 2-year graduate degree program that sets job applicants apart from their peers in careers where reasoning, deduction, and logic are valued.
