Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'applied' (relating to practical uses) + 'math' (mathematics): it denotes mathematics used in practical fields. This adjective+noun pattern is transparent and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the term.
Etymology
Applied math comes from the idea of putting math to work. Applied means using something in practice. So applied math is the kind of math people use to solve 'real-world problems' in science, engineering, business, or industry.
