The IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics is a direct successor of the Journal of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications which was started in 1965 with the aim of publishing papers in all areas of the application of mathematics. Since the appearance of the IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis in 1981, analytic and numerical treatments of both physical and non-physical applied mathematical problems, including those arising in industry, have formed the main part of the Journal's contents. The Journal ... seeks to publish papers on new developments of existing mathematical methods, especially those that have relevance to more than one field of application and also new mathematical methods suggested by particular applications. Longer papers which survey recent progress in topical fields of mathematics and its applications are also published.

A Master of Science (M.S.) in Computation and Applied Mathematics is the most common graduate degree. Students may ... earn a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree, which as a non-terminal degree is often preparation for a Ph.D. program. Master’s and doctorate programs tend to require a good deal of testing--when students first enter the program, between semesters or years, and at the end of the course of study. Master’s degrees usually take two years and doctorate programs four to six years.

The graduate program in Applied Mathematics prepares the successful candidate to pursue a Ph.D. program or assume immediate employment in business, industry or government. To meet these goals, the program is designed to provide opportunities for advanced study and research on the application of mathematical methods to real-world problems. The primary research interest of the graduate faculty include stochastic processes, time series analysis, applied statistics, computational fluid dynamics, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, operator theory, scientific computing, thermonuclear fusion and functional analysis. The major course offerings consist of topics such as numerical analysis, partial differential equations, stochastic processes, nonlinear dynamics, and statistics.

The Applied Mathematics track emphasizes the applications of mathematical methods to the physical and biological sciences and engineering, including acoustics, electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, materials science, biology, and medicine. Mathematical modeling, asymptotic analysis, and scientific computing are emphasized. Students are expected to develop a broad range of capabilities both in mathematics and in an area of application.

The Department of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) was established as a Department of the University of Cambridge in 1959. The founder and first Head of Department was George Batchelor. He was succeeded by Keith Moffatt in 1983, David Crighton in 1991, and Timothy Pedley in 2000. The current Head of Department, since October 2005, is Professor Peter H. Haynes.

Applied Mathematics is just what the name implies: mathematics applied to real-life situations. Found at the crossroads between theoretical academics and technical science, this major is a good choice if you have a love of math and a desire to do hands-on work. Applied Mathematics majors are problem-solvers, creating mathematical models to resolve questions of a physical and theoretical nature.
