Calculus, algebra, differential equations and functional analysis.
Partial differential equations are the main tool for modeling in science and technology. Only a few of these equations have an analytical solution. For this reason, numerical resolution is essential for scientific progress. To acquire knowledge on numerical analysis is relevant in an Applied Mathematics Master of Science.
