interdisciplinary studies and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course that challenges students to use mathematic tools to solve real-world problems. “It is really awesome to pair with other science majors to give more math background to support those concepts,” said N. Justice, assistant professor of mathematics. “Such double majors will be set apart and stronger in the job market.” Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the applied mathematics major pairs well with other natural sciences majors such as
