New York University Graduate School of Arts and Science 8 courses 36 total credits
The Department of Mathematics is part of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, an independent division of New York University. Based in Warren Weaver Hall, at the heart of New York University’s Washington Square campus, it is one of the top-ranked Mathematics departments worldwide (#4 in the US and #9 in the world as per the Shanghai rankings; #6 in the US and #8 in the world as per the QS rankings). The Master's degree in mathematics encompasses the basic graduate curriculum in mathematics, and also offers the opportunity of some more specialized training in an area of interest. A typical Master's course of study will involve basic courses in real analysis, complex analysis and linear algebra, followed by other fundamental courses such as probability, scientific computing, and differential equations. Depending on their mathematical interests, students will then be able to take more advanced graduate courses in pure and applied mathematics. The Mathematics in Finance Department offers a dual degree with the NYU Stern School of Business: Mathematics in Finance MS/Master of Business Administration.
