DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/53/">Re
 storing Confidence in the Value of Mathematics: BYU's Applied and Computat
 ional Mathematics Emphasis (ACME) program</a>\nby Tyler Jarvis (Brigham Yo
 ung University) as part of Online Seminar On Undergraduate Mathematics Edu
 cation\n\n\nAbstract\nFifteen years ago\, math majors told my colleague Je
 ff Humpherys and me\, “We majored in math because we like it\, but we kn
 ow it won’t get us a job unless we want to teach.” This inspired us to
  create the applied and computational mathematics (ACME) program at BYU\, 
 which combines deep\, beautiful mathematics with practical skills in deman
 d by employers.\n\nSince launching twelve years ago\, our number of majors
  has nearly doubled\, with ACME students now making up two-thirds of our d
 epartment. Our graduates earn higher starting salaries and are entering to
 p graduate programs\, and alumni remain dedicated to supporting ACME. In t
 his presentation\, I’ll discuss the challenges we faced\, how we built A
 CME’s success\, and key lessons learned.\n\nZoom link: https://cornell.
