Master of Science [M.S] [Mathematics: Applied Mathematics] From Leiden University

What does this master?s programme entail?

The Applied Mathematics master's specialisation focuses on both computational and fundamental aspects of analysis and probability. The specialisation offers courses dealing with diverse topics such as dynamical systems, interacting particle systems, network theory, stochastic differential equations, time series, asymptotic statistics and population genetics.?Much of the material is driven by applications in physics and especially the life sciences. The analysis component of this specialisation focuses on topics such as C?*-algebras, percolation, and stochastic dynamics.

Why study Applied Mathematics at Leiden University?
