OVERVIEW

Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics is the study of mathematics that is often used in other technical disciplines such as Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Physics, Economics and Computer Science. Students who complete the concentration in Applied Mathematics will have a strong mathematical background, an emphasis in a second field and will be able to integrate the mathematics within that field.

The concentration in Applied Mathematics is comprised of at least 57 credit hours in three main areas: Mathematics courses, non-math courses and a minor in another department as described below:

Required Courses in Mathematics
MATH 1850 Freshman Seminar in Applied Mathematics
MATH 2300 Calculus I
MATH 2400 Calculus II
MATH 2600 Linear Algebra
MATH 3300 Calculus III
MATH 3400 Calculus IV
MATH 3500 Methods in Applied Mathematics
MATH 4400 Operations Research or MATH 4450 Mathematical Modeling
MATH 4600 Senior Seminar in Applied Mathematics
MATH 3900 Mathematics Seminar
The student must also complete 4 additional courses (three of which must be at the 3000 level or higher) selected from the following: Math 1900, Math 2500, Math 3150, Math 3550, Math 4200, Math 4250, Math 4300, Math 4350, Math 4400, Math 4450 or Math 4500.

Required Courses in other Departments:
The student must also take the following courses outside the Department:

SPCH 1000 Introduction to Speech Communication  or SPCH 1100 Argumentation and Debate
PHYS 2300 General Physics I
PHYS 2400 General Physics II
CSC 1500 Computer Science I

Required Minor in another Department
A core aspect in applied math is knowledge of another field. The student must also minor in one of the following areas: Computer Science, Psychology, Biology, Chemistry, Economics or Geography/Earth Science.  Note: Many of the courses in the minor can be counted toward the Liberal Arts and Science (LA&S) courses.
