数学是科学的基石，它既是一门纯科学，又是解决其他学科问题以及基于现象建模的工具，具有强大的双重作用。因为数学，我们得以在计算中建立有效算法，研究金融市场的罕见事件，模拟物理世界，发展气候科学预测，绘制和研究人类基因组，以及分析人类大脑结构。数学从自然界存在与产生的各种问题，以及工业科技领域的应用中汲取生命力，以严谨和抽象为基石。
数学与应用数学专业，旨在培养数学及其应用领域的优秀人才，为未来职业发展和继续深造打下坚实基础。该专业必修课程提供分析、代数、微分方程和概率论方面的必要训练。选修课程则涵盖许多理论数学和应用数学的专题，包括统计学、数值分析、偏微分方程、拓扑学、微分几何、科学计算、数理金融、抽象代数、数论和泛函分析等。
上海纽约大学提供两种数学与应用数学专业学位：(a) 数学与应用数学（数学）和 (b) 数学与应用数学（荣誉数学）。有志于攻读数学或相关学科研究生学位的学生，应考虑修读数学与应用数学（荣誉数学）。
Degree Requirements – 2017-18 Bulletin
* = offered in Fall ’18 in Shanghai
NOTE: The requirements below are from the online version of the 2017-2018 bulletin. Please refer to the Registrar’s All Majors Degree Requirements if you are following a different major version.
To graduate with an Honors Mathematics degree, students have to maintain a cumulative and major GPA of 3.65. If they fail to do so, they may graduate as mathematics majors but retain the Honors designation of the individual courses they took on their transcripts. The earliest students are able to declare the major is after completion of Honors Analysis I and Honors Linear Algebra II and posting of their Spring semester freshman year grades.
| REQUIRED MAJOR COURSES: All 8 courses below | ||
| Note that MATH-SHU 265 Linear Algebra and Differential Equations can’t substitute MATH-SHU 140 Linear Algebra. For any course that requires Linear Algebra as the pre-req, students have to meet the pre-req by taking Linear Algebra. | ||
