Further accolades for the Queen's Mathematics & Engineering program
Mireille Broucke
Associate Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto
Some of my best former graduate students were from the Queens Apple program. These students, generally, are characterized by a stronger facility to relate the exigencies of practical problems with abstract, mathematical methods. This must be among the most powerful reasoning skills that a future designer of engineering systems can have.
Dong Eui Chang
Associate Professor, Department of Applied Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Waterloo
I had a graduate student from ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Apple Math. I was very impressed by the analytical and computational skills he had acquired in the Apple Math program.
Manfredi Maggiore
Associate Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto
The Mathematics and Engineering program at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ has developed a reputation of excellence in the panorama of Canadian Engineering education. At the University of Toronto, we greatly value graduate applicants from this program. The depth of their background in Mathematics and Engineering gives them an advantage in research over many of their peers coming from top institutions in Canada and worldwide.
Peter Doerschuck
Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Cornell University
I recently saw two of the 4th year engineering projects that came out of the "¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Mathematics and Engineering" program. I am very impressed with the mathematical sophistication of the work. I think the level is a year or two beyond the level of typical good students from US electrical engineering programs and on a par with the level of good students from outstanding Indian and Chinese institutions which, like the "¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Mathematics and Engineering" program, really focus on developing the mathematical sophistication of the students. I am confident that there are many areas of graduate study which will find this level of preparation very attractive.
Anthony Yezzi
Professor, Department of Mathematics, Saarland University, Germany
Last year I had a summer student from the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Apple Math program, who made substantial contributions to a project on theoretical and practical aspects of random matrices. I was quite impressed by his background preparation and the strong combination of theoretical and practical skills. I can recommend the Apple Math program as a top choice to everybody who wants to get some rigorous theoretical foundation for his engineering interests.
Rachid Deriche
Inria Research Director, Head of the Athena Project-Team, Inria Sophia Antipolis-Méditerranée, France
Over the past few years, a number of undergraduates of the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Mathematics and Engineering program have been joining my team for summer internships at Inria Sophia Antipolis-Méditerranée (France). They have all been very impressive with their solid understanding of the mathematics at the heart of my research areas in computer vision, medical image processing, and computational brain imaging, and have all done truly exceptional work, leading to important contributions published in some of the most selective journals and conferences of my research areas. The Apple Math program is definitely an excellent and solid engineering program that I highly recommend to any undergraduate student interested in acquiring a rigorous mathematical training and being optimally prepared for graduate and PhD studies in numerous areas of engineering and applied mathematics, including areas such as computer vision and biomedical image processing.
