The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is home to an active community of teachers, scholars, undergraduates, and graduate students. In addition to most traditional areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics, the department contains all UWM programs in Actuarial Science and Atmospheric Science.
The department offers Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral studies in all of these areas, in addition to several interdisciplinary programs. Established in 1963, the PhD in Mathematics is the original doctoral program at UWM, founded by Dr. Morris Marden.
In addition, together with Computer Science (in the College of Engineering and Applied Science), we offer the Applied Math and Computer Science Bachelor of Science degree, as well as a Data Science Bachelor of Science degree.
Mathematics is the principal language of modern science and technology. In such diverse areas as physics, engineering, economics, computer science, and biology, much of the subject matter is presented in mathematical terms. In addition, mathematical techniques are now being used in many areas which formerly were non-mathematical; for example, history, political science, psychology, and medicine.
Some students are drawn to mathematics because of the beauty they find in its structure and logic, others because it allows a deeper understanding of an allied area of study.
Actuarial science is the mathematical analysis of problems in economics, finance, and insurance. It requires knowledge of statistics, probability, and interest theory and how they relate to financial issues.
Atmospheric science is the study of short-term weather and long-term climate, involving both applied activities such as weather forecasting and analysis and fundamental research. It uses advanced methods in statistics and numerical modeling.
Data science uses large sets of data — sometimes millions of pieces of data — to describe or solve some of the world’s toughest problems. Data scientists use those large sets of information to describe what’s happening, explain why it’s happening, predict what’s likely to happen and make decisions about what action to take.
The Applied Mathematics and Computer Science degree combines core subjects in the two fields, preparing students for work in industrial and technology fields.
Students of the sciences, engineering, computer science, economics, and business often complete a significant number of mathematical sciences credits. These students are encouraged to take a mathematics major or minor, which adds an official recognition of important analytical skills valued by employers and graduate schools.
Students interested in teaching mathematics at the K-12 level should consult the School of Education section of this catalog.

There are four curricular areas in the Department of Mathematical Sciences:
- Actuarial Science (ACTSCI)
- Atmospheric Science (ATM SCI)
- Mathematics (MATH)
- Mathematical Statistics (MTHSTAT)
Undergraduate Studies - We offer three minors and six undergraduate degrees:
-
Bachelor of Science Degrees: Mathematics; Atmospheric Science; Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (AMCS); Data Science
-
Bachelor of Arts Degrees: Mathematics; Actuarial Science
-
Minors: Mathematics; Actuarial Science; Atmospheric Science
Graduate Studies in Mathematical Sciences
The Department has vibrant graduate programs leading to both the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in each of Mathematics and Atmospheric Science. In addition to traditional areas of Mathematics and Statistics, the Mathematics graduate offerings also include UW-Milwaukee's Actuarial Science programs. The department also offers a newly established dual degree in mathematics with Fachhochschule Aachen (Aachen University of Applied Sciences) in Germany. Students may prepare for careers in teaching at the secondary or college level and for careers in research in the academic, industrial, government, or business communities.
