Courand Academy of Mathematical Sciences. The college has a history of 75 years and is famous for its research and teaching in the fields of mathematics and computer science. At present, there are 17 academicians of the national academy of sciences and 5 academicians of the national academy of engineering. Courant has strong analytical and applied mathematics skills, ranking first in the United States on the website of US News and World Report. The application is very fierce, and all projects only accept GRE and not GMAT. For undergraduates, there are only two majors in computer and mathematics, five master's programs and four doctoral programs. This paper focuses on the sixth master program added in 20 13: Master of Data Science (MSDS).

As the world financial center of new york, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences has been leading the research and application in data analysis, computer science, information science and other hot fields. In the past eight years, the investment attracted by American digital enterprises has increased by 50%, and the data volume of servers has increased by 50 times. Not only are important fields such as commerce, medicine and government becoming more and more dependent? The convenience brought by data science shows that business and human life are increasingly dependent on data. But at present, in the face of huge market demand, real data researchers are very scarce. Therefore, in 20 13, Courant College of Mathematics of New Zealand University launched a new project, Ms in the field of data science, hoping to train more "data scientists".

Although the project is new, not many people know it and not many people apply for it, but it is very selective. There are high requirements for the mathematical background, applied statistics and computer background of the application. Because the purpose of this project is to explore and develop new methods of data science, there is no good mathematics, statistics and calculation in the undergraduate stage. You don't need to consider this project in the preparation of the course (you can check whether your grades in calculus, probability statistics, linear algebra, C language, C++ and java are good enough). The advantages of undergraduate professional background are mathematics, statistics, physics, computer, economy and engineering. No basic computer courses and programming courses are suitable for this project. The whole project has 36 credits, half of which are compulsory and half of which are optional, and the degree will be completed in two years. You can choose 4 semesters or 3 semesters, but the curriculum is slightly different.

MSDS provides scholarships, which can cover part of the tuition fees for two years. Because the project is relatively new, those students who have the strength to apply for Courant Mathematical Finance can consider taking it as a guarantee, so they don't have to try it. It is suggested that potential applicants should have GPA3.5 and mathematics and computer-related courses 3.5+; TOEFL:100+; GRE:320+.
