Average Course Rating

This is the first in a two-course sequence (EN.625.803 and EN.625.804) designed for students in the master’s program who wish to work with a faculty advisor to conduct significant, original independent research in the field of applied and computational mathematics. (Each course is one semester.) A sequence may be used to fulfill two courses within the 700-level course requirements for the master’s degree; only one sequence may count toward the degree. For sequence 625.803 and 625.804, the student is to produce a bound hard-copy thesis for submission to the JHU library and an electronic version of the thesis based on standards posted at https://www.library.jhu.edu/library-services/electronic-theses-dissertations/. (The student is also encouraged to write a technical paper for publication based on the thesis.) The intent of the research is to expand the body of knowledge in the broad area of applied mathematics, with the research leading to professional-quality documentation.
