"Applied Mathematical Statistics combines the best of two
traditions. It is in essence a collection of standard Statistical
procedures, each developed in a rigorous mathematical manner. This provides
some advantage to the practically oriented statistician, because in many
Statistical problems that he or she will have to solve, new formulae will
have to be derived. It also benefits the theoretical statistician, since
much new theory arises directly from concrete problems."

mechanism for training biometricians who will be able to work as
statisticians in the general biomedical field, acting as consultants and
performing original research in biostatistical methodology. The program
provides a balance between theory and application, including computer
usage, and offers a broad range of alternatives to accommodate individual

"Biostatistics and epidemiology are complementary
disciplines for the understanding of risk factors for disease in human
populations. Epidemiology provides scientific design for the collection of
data appropriate to a problem; biostatistics offers techniques to determine
in a mathematical way whether the observations are of importance. Both are
central to all research in the medical sciences. While these two
disciplines are housed in the same department, individual programs are
offered in biostatistics and epidemiology."

are usually found in governmental agencies, in private industries, in
medical research institutions, and in universities. A doctoral degree in
Biostatistics also prepares students for teaching positions in a university

"The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a choice of
2 master's programs, both leading to the master of arts in mathematics. The
program in pure mathematics is intended primarily for students interested
in studying mathematics on a broad scale. This program is used by students
as preparation for both industrial and academic employment as well as
preparation for further graduate study. The program in applied mathematics
is intended for students interested in applications to business, science,
engineering, and industry, as well as teaching and research. In addition, a
joint program with the Division of Programs in Education offers the master
of arts in secondary education."

in laboratory experiments . . . 2) Epidemiology: the science dealing with
the search for factors causing disease in humans and the study of the
occurrence and distribution of diseases in human population. A subspecialty
is environmental epidemiology, which focuses on the impact of environmental
contaminates on human . . . 3) Health Services Research is the discipline
concerned with the evaluation of all aspects of the nation's health care
delivery system . . . The faculty are engaged in various research projects
in these complimentary disciplines. Use of computers and the management and

"The Applied Statistics program seeks to provide theoretical
foundations and practical applications of topics in statistics. The
requirement for a student to earn the degree of Master of Science in
Applied Statistics is to complete 30 credits as outlined below, and to pass
the written Comprehensive Examination. Since the program also recognizes
the interplay of statistics and computer science, it should be noted that
some of the electives available to students may be chosen from the Computer
Science program as well. Applicants for the program must hold a bachelor's
degree and must have completed undergraduate course work in mathematics
through multivariate calculus and linear algebra."

and methods to the biological sciences. A successful biostatistician is
proficient in mathematical statistics, statistical applications, and
statistical computing. Biostatistics encompasses such diverse applications
as modeling animal populations in an ecosystem, designing a sample scheme
to evaluate health services, designing and analyzing epidemiological
studies, clinical trials, pharmacological experiments and microorganism
assays, and examining health care utilization patterns. Biostatistics also
is expanding, becoming an increasingly powerful research tool in the
