What
is Applied Mathematics?
“Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with
mathematical methods that find use in science, engineering, business, computer
science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of
mathematical science and specialized knowledge. The term "applied mathematics"
also describes the professional specialty in which mathematicians work on
practical problems by formulating and studying mathematical models. In the
past, practical applications have motivated the development of mathematical
theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics where
abstract concepts are studied for their own sake. The activity of applied
mathematics is thus intimately connected with research in pure mathematics.” (Ref: Luigi Morelli, studied
Computer Science & Mathematics at Harvard University)

Historically, applied mathematics
consisted principally of applied analysis, most notably differential equations;
approximation theory (broadly construed, to include representations, asymptotic
methods, variational methods, and numerical analysis); and applied probability.
