Elective Restrictions
Positioning of electives is unrestricted. At least 30 elective credits
must be at the 3000 level or above. Choices of electives are subject
to approval by the student’s adviser. Mathematics electives must
include at least one proof-based course in addition to the required
courses in linear algebra and analysis.
Applied area electives must be taken from a single area of application.
Typically, this means from a single department or program
other than mathematics. Any science or engineering program can
be chosen. Suitably chosen management courses (courses with
mathematics prerequisites) can also be taken.
Mathematical Sciences – Applied Mathematics, B.S. ___
Major Code: 7077 Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Science
Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate
Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus
During the first two years, mathematics majors share many
courses with other students. The applied mathematics program
includes courses with extensive theoretical content, as well as
applied courses from related departments. Students can choose
electives that will enable them to apply mathematics to engineering,
the physical sciences, biological sciences, environmental
studies, social sciences and business applications. Mathematics
graduates who have successfully completed the program are
prepared to pursue graduate work or take their place in industry
along with engineers and scientists.

Note: Upper-division mathematics courses may be offered in alternate years.
Positioning of electives is unrestricted.
Elective Restrictions
Choices of electives are subject to approval by the student’s adviser.
Mathematics electives must include at least one proof-based course
in addition to the required courses in discrete mathematics and
analysis. Examples of suitable courses include Abstract Algebra
(MTH 4015) and Advanced Geometry (MTH 4801).
Applied area electives must be taken from a single area of application.
Typically, this means from a single department or program
other than mathematics. Any science or engineering program can
be chosen. Suitably chosen management courses (courses with
mathematics prerequisites) can also be taken. At least 30 elective
credits must be at the 3000-level (or higher).
MINOR PROGRAM
A minor in computational mathematics is offered through the
department. A complete policy statement regarding minors can
be found in the Academic Overview section. Information about
current minor offerings is available through the individual colleges/
departments.
Computational Mathematics (21 credit hours)
Minor Code: 6073 Degree Awarded: none
Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate
Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus
MTH 1001 Calculus 1
MTH 1002 Calculus 2
MTH 2201 Differential Equations/Linear Algebra
One of the following three courses:
CSE 1502 Introduction to Software Development with C++
CSE 1503 Introduction to Software Development with FORTRAN
CSE 2050 Programming in a Second Language
Two of the following three courses:
MTH 4082 Introduction to Parallel Processing*
MTH 4311 Numerical Analysis
MTH 4320 Neural Networks
*CSE 4082 may be substituted for MTH 4082.
MTH 2000-level (or higher) courses must be used to satisfy the
remaining 21-credit hour total if more than nine credit hours of the
courses for the minor are named courses in the student’s major.
