Applied Mathematics, BS
|
|
Mathematics has been described as the Queen of the Sciences. Mathematics is the language of quantitative information and structure. Quantitative information is acquired, classified and processed according to mathematical models of physical phenomena with mathematical tools. There is a wide range of applications even of the most pure of mathematical disciplines. Cryptography is based on algebra, signal processing is based on Fourier analysis, and important applications have arisen from topology to physics. Our department offers unique research opportunities for undergraduates in mathematical biology, scientific computing, and finance mathematics as well as algebra, geometry, and analysis.
The Applied Mathematics major requires the completion of 41 credits in mathematics distributed as follows.

Other Requirements and Recommendations
- Students interested in graduate study are strongly advised to take MATH 1530 - ADVANCED CALCULUS 1 and MATH 1540 - ADVANCED CALCULUS 2 . These two courses may be substituted for the Applied Analysis and the Differential Equations courses, respectively.
- Students interested in pursuing secondary education certification should take the following courses in addition to the courses required for the major.
- A grade of C or higher is necessary in all courses required for the major. A minimum GPA of 2.0 in departmental courses is required for graduation.
- Students must complete at least one writing-intensive course (W-course) in the major.
- No course that counts toward the major may be taken on the S/NC basis.
- Eligible courses are list on the right side of this sheet and should be chosen in consultation with the major advisor.
- Students must complete minimum of 12 credits of related coursework within the major; subjects include chemistry, computer science, economics, physics, statistics, and certain areas of engineering. These courses should be chosen in consultation with the major advisor.
- Honors in Applied Mathematics is granted if the student:
- Completes all requirements for the major
- Completes the following courses with a letter grade of B or higher:
- Completes an honors thesis under the direction of a member of the Department of Mathematics faculty, or completes a 2000-level course in lieu of the honors thesis.
- The statistics requirement is waived for students seeking honors in Applied Mathematics.
