Major Requirements
The department strongly recommends that students pursuing a major or a minor in applied mathematics complete COSC 101听补苍诲听COSC 101L听辞谤 equivalent.
The requirements for the major are as follows:
Preparatory Courses
- MATH 161聽-聽Calculus I or equivalent experience approved by department chair
- MATH 162聽-聽Calculus II or equivalent experience approved by department chair
Required Courses
In unusual circumstances, the deadlines indicated may be extended with departmental approval through student petition to the department chair.
- MATH 163聽-聽Calculus III (completed by the end of the sophomore year)
- MATH 214聽-聽Linear Algebra (completed by the end of the sophomore year)
- MATH 260聽-聽Computational Mathematics and MATH 260L聽(completed by the end of the sophomore year with a grade of C or better)
- MATH 376聽-聽Numerical Analysis (completed by the end of the junior year)
- MATH 377聽-聽Real Analysis I (completed by the end of the junior year)
- To complete the major, each student must produce a thesis. This is normally done through MATH 481听辞谤 MATH 482. Note: Joint theses are allowed but will not normally be considered for honors. Exceptions may be made with departmental permission.
Elective Courses
One elective from 200-level or above and two electives from 300-level or above. (Note that all three electives may be 300-level or above.)
Electives may be chosen from the following:
- MATH 240聽-聽Computational Statistics with R
- MATH 250聽-聽Number Theory and Mathematical Reasoning
- MATH 302聽-聽Systems Biology
- MATH 308聽-聽Differential Equations
- MATH 310聽-聽Combinatorial Problem Solving
- MATH 312聽-聽Math Modeling: Social Sciences
- MATH 313聽-聽Functions of a Complex Variable
- MATH 315聽-聽Mathematical Biology
- MATH 316聽-聽Probability
- MATH 354聽-聽Data Analysis I - Applied Linear Models
- MATH 360聽-聽Graph Theory
- MATH 408聽-聽Partial Differential Equations
- MATH 416聽-聽Mathematical Statistics
- MATH 417聽-聽Brownian Motion & Stochastic Calculus
- MATH 448聽-聽Nonlinear Dynamics & Chaos
- MATH 454聽-聽Data Analysis II - Nonlinear Model Inference
- MATH 460聽-聽Hilbert and Banach Spaces
- MATH 487聽-聽Real Analysis II
Cognate Courses
Two cognate courses representing a field of application interest outside of Mathematics. These two courses 鈥╩ust count toward a single major in the Natural or Social Sciences preferably taken in two sequential semesters as the intent is to provide an immersive experience with the language, culture, questions, and ways of knowing of another field. The courses need not explicitly use mathematics, rather they provide a basis for communication with experts in that field. Normally, the senior聽project involves a topic related to this field of application.
GPA Requirement
A minimum GPA of 2.00 in the courses chosen to meet the major requirements is necessary to satisfy the major.
Honors and High Honors
Students interested in pursuing honors can find the additional requirements on the Mathematics聽department page.
