Doctor's degree Mathematical and Computer Sciences - Colorado School of Mines

Doctor's degree Mathematical and Computer Sciences from Colorado School of Mines is a Campus Ph.D Mathematics and Computer Science degree that prepares you for a Science career. With guidance from our internationally known faculty, students in the Mathematical and Computer Sciences graduate program at Mines solve real problems from industry and government by applying theoretical tools from mathematical and computer science disciplines. Our focus on applied problems gives students the hands-on experience we believe is essential for a successful career in these fields. Research The department offers graduate programs in three main areas of concentration: applied mathematics , applied statistics and computer sciences . Members of the department are actively involved in the Center for Wave Phenomena and with the Center for Automation, Robotics and Distributed Intelligence. These and other interdisciplinary activities give students many opportunities to participate in engineering and applied science projects on campus. Research is focused in the following areas: Applied Mathematics Classical Scattering Theory Dynamic Systems Inverse Problems Mathematical Finance Mathematical Methods for Wave Phenomena Micro-local Analysis Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations Numerical Analysis Optimal Control Optimization Software Seismic Inverse Methods Symbolic Computing Wavelets Applied Statistics Geostatistics Hierarchical Bayes Methods Kalman Filtering Large Data Sets Multivariate Statistics Spatial Statistics Splines State-Space Models Statistical Inverse Problems Stochastic Models for Environmental Science Survival Analysis Wavelet Applications Doctor of Philosophy This program requires 72 semester hours beyond the bachelor's degree , of which no fewer than 24 are thesis hours. At least 12 hours of coursework must be in a cohesive area distinct from the main area of research. Two semesters of full-time residence on campus are also required. Doctoral students must pass a qualifying examination and a comprehensive examination and write and defend a dissertation. Usually students require a minimum of two years after the M.S. to finish a Ph.D. assuming that the M.S. was completed at Mines. Students with an M.S. from another institution usually take three-four years to complete the Ph.D. View more details on Colorado School of Mines .
