The students will also be exposed to humanities topics that are relevant to their own growth.

On the announcement, Dr. Sushil Kulkarni, Dean, School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics & Analytics, said, "In the age of data clouds and data lakes, mathematics and statistics is a fast growing science. To obtain useful insights from data, statistical approaches need to be applied, making it animperative pillar in the field of data science. Traditional tools of Mathematics, Applied Statistics & Analytics are being modified to create new techniques and methods to address challenges across industries. Understanding the evolving paradigms it has become even more vital to prepare our youngsters for the future and enable them with the right skillsets. NMIMS has uniquely crafted the courses and their curriculum by taking into account the growing need of data analysis and the future of all industries that bank on it. "

Course Details:

B.Sc.(Applied Mathematical Computing)

The three year course being offered at the Mumbai Campus covers diverse areas like Financial Mathematics, Mathematical Biology, Machine Learning and Deep learning. The major focus of the curriculum is to help students acquire the capacity to take a problem in non-mathematical form and turn it into mathematical language. This will allow them to apply their mathematical knowledge and abilities to devise a solution and then interpret it in real-world terms. Students' technology abilities will be crucial as they present and evaluate data for a research component. The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematical Computing at NMIMS focuses on areas where Mathematical Sciences, Computing, and Finance are most applicable, underlining the connections between theory and practise.

About School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics & Analytics

Over the years, different departments within the school of science recorded robust growth both in terms of student enrolment & graduation, staff attraction & retention, research publication & patent registration, and student placements in academia and industry. In the last couple of years, the SDSOS launched new undergraduate B.Sc. programmes in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Psychology, Animation and VFX among others. The University leadership decided to carve a new school by merging the program of the School of Mathematical Sciences and the five programs of Department of Statistics of the Sunandan Divatia School of Science. The new NMIMS school emerging out of this restructuring initiative is named as the School of Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Analytics (SOMASA). The goal of SOMASA is to be a Center of Excellence in the domain of Applied Computational Mathematics, Applied Statistics and Analytics providing quality education and research.
