Mathematical Sciences – Concentration in Applied Sciences

Bachelor of Science

Home » All Programs » Mathematical Sciences – Concentration in Applied Sciences
Applied sciences turn theory into practice, driving real-world change across fields like thermodynamics, pharmaceutical research, and epidemiology.

» Program Overview

Science at the service of practical goals.

Though there are some who seek scientific knowledge for its own sake, there are many more who wish to apply the power of science towards addressing problems and finding solutions. Across a wide range of professional and academic endeavors, from thermodynamics and statistics to pharmaceutical research and epidemiology, applied sciences change the world, forming the very definition of “theory in practice.”

Why LTU?

  • Explore real-world applications through hands-on senior projects, internships, and interdisciplinary faculty research
  • Explore applications of mathematics in engineering, robotics, big data, and artificial intelligence, preparing you for a career at the cutting-edge of technology

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
