Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by various fields such as Physics, Engineering, Medicine, Business, Computer Science, and more. This is a combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge.

Mathematics helps students to acquire knowledge and critical understanding and to develop a positive attitude to think, analyze, and lucid logically whereas Applied mathematics helps students to develop an understanding of basic mathematical and statistical tools and their applications in various fields.

How Is Applied Mathematics different than Pure Mathematics?

Pure mathematics is used to solve problems related to mathematics and Applied mathematics is used to answer questions related to various fields like physics, biology, economics, and so on.

The problems and theorems that directly challenge pure mathematics can appear in fields such as algebra, geometry, number theory, differential or integral calculus, etc whereas applied mathematics adopts problem solutions or proven theorems to apply them in other fields such as physics, biology, business, etc.

It is known that without mathematics, neither physics nor engineering would be possible. The application of applied mathematics includes numerical analysis, the mathematics of engineering, information theory, continuous modelling, information theory, game theory, and cryptography.

Pure mathematics involves the use of pure numbers while applied mathematics involves quantities such as numerical values and units of measurement.
