By its nature, applied mathematics is defined not by what it is but by what it does. It's being able to use mathematics to solve real-life problems and make an impact in the world in areas such as engineering, industry, science, and human-centered problems.

The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), the preeminent professional society for applied mathematicians, states that “New application areas are constantly being discovered while established techniques are being applied in new ways and in emerging fields. Consequently, a wide variety of career opportunities are open to people with mathematical talent and training.”
