Graduate Profile
The graduate of The Master in Applied Mathematics is a postgraduate professional who has the competence to apply mathematics to the analysis of complex systems and processes in the field of transport phenomena. Specifically:
-
Formulate differential equations as mathematical models, in the field of transport phenomena, to obtain a quantitative relationship between the relevant variables of the system.
-
Solve differential equations as mathematical models, using numerical and analytical techniques, to obtain quantitative values of the system response variable.
-
Use computer programs in the solution, analysis, and application of differential equations to the improvement of complex systems in the field of transport phenomena.
-
Communicate scientific-mathematical information with technical rigor and clarity in the field of applied mathematics.
