Bachelor of Science - Applied MathematicsThe bachelor of science in mathematical sciences requires a minimum of 120 credits with at least 41 of those credits in courses labeled CMSC , MATH or STAT . Along with the general education requirements of the College of Humanities and Sciences and the undergraduate requirements, students are required to take core courses and fulfill specific requirements for the degree.
Based on the results of the Mathematics Placement Test, students may berequired to take MATH 151 Precalculus Mathematics. No more than one course in mathematics (MATH ) at the 100 level can count for the general requirements toward the bachelor of science degree. Credit for 100-level mathematical science courses cannot be applied toward the mathematical sciences courses required for the major in mathematical sciences.
Mathematical science majors are required to complete the following:
Complete one of the following sequences:
BIOL 151, 152 and BIOL 151L, 152L Introduction to Biological Sciences and Laboratory I, II
CHEM 101-102 and CHEM 101L, 102L General Chemistry and Laboratory I, II
PHYS 207, 208 University Physics I, II or PHYS 201-202 General Physics
Complete another course, including laboratory, in the natural sciences from the list of courses approved for satisfying the general education requirements of the College of Humanities and Sciences. This course must be in the life sciences if the chemistry or physics sequence was selected in A above. It must be in the physical sciences if the biology sequence was chosen in A above.
Complete one other course in the natural sciences or complete a minor or second major offered outside the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. Completion of the previously mentioned requirements will satisfy the College of Humanities and Sciences natural sciences general education requirements.
Core All Mathematics/Applied Mathematics majors are required to take
MATH 255 Introduction to Mathematical Computing
MATH 200-201 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I & II
MATH 300 Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning
STAT 212 Concepts of Statistics
Additional Courses to complete a Concentration in Applied Mathematics: By completing the listed requirements, students may obtain a designation on their transcript that their study has emphasized one of the following concentrations. Students may choose to meet the requirements of more than one concentration.
MATH 301 Differential Equations
MATH 307 Multivariate Calculus
MATH 310 Linear Algebra
MATH 490 Mathematical Expositions
MATH 512 Complex Analysis for Applications
MATH 517-518 Methods of Applied MathematicsSix additional upper-level credits in mathematical sciences (MATH 302 Numerical Calculus, MATH 437 Applied Partial Differential Equations, and MATH 511 Applied Linear Algebra are recommended. Students in this concentration should elect at least one upper-level course in chemistry or physics. (CHEM 510 Atomic and Molecular Structure is recommended.)
