A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR, DISTINGUISHED PROF. FRANK GIRALDO
![Naval Postgraduate School Mathematics Department Chairman Dr. Frank Giraldo](/documents/103424443/0/Screen+Shot+2022-01-19+at+10.28.53+AM.png/4bd93c28-3ea7-fe80-86de-4ac6b08971c5?t=1642617058437&download=true)
The focus of the Applied Math department is to educate officers to learn how to think rigorously and logically; I cannot think of a better discipline that can serve this purpose. As a service department, we have the privilege of educating many of the students that come through the doors of NPS and we take this responsibility seriously. The dedication of our
faculty to this mission facilitates taking students with diverse educational backgrounds to complete a Masters degree in STEM-related fields in a short turn-around time. Read more.
