Applied mathematics

in applied math and data science with my long-term interest in epidemiology. My qualifications for this position start with my passion in research about epidemiology. Living in a family of physicians, I became interested on epidemiology in my childhood. When horrible diseases surfaced, my father would have to serve as the head of the disease control group and I was always curious to know about the causes, effects and the spread of the disease. Last year, I participated in a mini mathematics…

In Bertrand Russell's words: “Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.” Math is a language of logic. It is a disciplined, organized way of thinking. There is a right answer; there are rules that must be followed. More…

Statement of Purpose Mathematics and geometry have always been my passion since my childhood. I had easily learned the numbers and basic calculations before I started primary school. I have consistently passed my mathematics classes successfully through my eagerness of the mathematics. Since I was a successful student at the other classes as well, I got opportunity to go to one of the most prestigious high schools which was far from my town. In addition, I was the first person who went to this…

did growing up”. The mathematics we have today greatly differs from that of earlier generations and time periods due to the dynamic nature of this field of study. Throughout history, many important individuals have contributed to the field of mathematics and have helped develop the theories, postulates and mathematical rules which are widely accepted today. From the quadratic formula to the trigonometric functions, these people have revolutionized the way we view mathematics in unimaginable ways…

for being physicists. His parents were Johann Bernoulli and Dorothea Falkner. His father was a doctor and well-known mathematician. He was called the “Archimedes of his age”. Education: Taught by his more caring older brother, Daniel learned mathematics very quickly. However, his father wanted him to learn business to earn a better pay than he did as the chairman at Basel University. After some arguing, Daniel decided to learn medicine in Heidelberg, Germany; Strasbourg, France;…

of her retirement. On October 19 of that year she died of a heart attack at her home in Durham, North Carolina.. She was a noted mathematics educator, Her mother died when she was only two years old and she was raised by her stepmother and her father, Lawrence Johnson Lee. Her father, a railway postal clerk, was also a "math wizard" who shared his passion for mathematics with his children. She attended Le Moyne High School, a private Methodist school started after the Civil War to offer…

middle of the century was dominated by Leonhard Euler. He made numerous discoveries that would change the landscape of mathematics forever, and today he is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. In the ladder part of the century Joseph-Louis Lagrange made many significant discoveries. It is crazy to think about a family dominating a whole era of mathematics, but the Bernoulli family did. This one family…

outcome of learning mathematics is the development of one’s mathematical confidence (Ernest 22). This includes being confident in one’s personal knowledge in mathematics, in applying previously learned mathematical knowledge in various situations and contexts, and acquisition of additional knowledge and skills when needed. Mathematical confidence translates to success in dealing with math problems and mathematics in general, thereby decreasing one’s negative attitudes towards mathematics and…

A German Jewish mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet…
