EMPHASIS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS

This emphasis is designed to train the student in those areas of mathematics which may be applied to formulate and solve problems in other disciplines. The program is designed to qualify the student for employment as an applied mathematician, but the graduate would also be well prepared for graduate study in pure or applied mathematics.

Preparation for the Major

Three semesters of Calculus (Math 150,151 and 252), Mathematical Software Workshop (Math 241), Discrete Mathematics (Math 245), Linear Algebra (Math 254), Introduction to Computer Programming (CS 107), and Statistical Priniciples and Practices (Stat 250), a total of 26 units.

Major

A minimum of 36 upper division units to include Mathematics Differential Equations (Math 337), Abstract Algebra (Math 521A), Linear Algera (Math 524), Complex Variables (Math 532), Advanced Calculus (Math 534A and 534B), Numerical Analysis (Math 541); Statistics 350A or 551A; and 12 units of electives in computer science, mathematics, or statistics approved by the Applied Mathematics adviser. Student must complete outline for major and file a copy signed by adviser with the Office of the Registrar.

Auxiliary Area

A minimum of 12 units (lower or upper division) from an area to which mathematics may be applied. Examples of specialized areas include Physics, Chemistry and Economics. The intent is to train the student in an area in some depth. Some latitude may be allowed in the choice of department and mix of courses, but all programs must be approved by the Applied Mathematics adviser. The 12 unit requirement is minimal, and a minor in an approved field is highly recommended
