Master of Science in Industrial Mathematics

The Master of Science with a Major in Industrial Mathematics requires 18 hours of core courses in mathematics, 6 hours of support work courses in any one science field different from mathematics, and 6 hours of elective courses in mathematics. All students in this program must complete a thesis.

Background Requirements
The following undergraduate courses are required, each with at least a "C" grade, and no more than two courses with "C":

• Math 3323 Differential Equations
• Math 3373 Calculus III
• Math 3377 Linear Algebra
• Math 3380 Advanced Calculus I
• Math 3398 Discrete Mathematics II
• Math 4307 Modern Algebra
• Math 4315 Advanced Calculus II.

These requirements may be reduced if the applicant shows evidence of taking equivalent courses elsewhere. Students are required to make up background courses if they do not have sufficient undergraduate mathematics. This background work must be completed before enrolling in graduate courses.

Curriculum
Core Courses (18 hours): All students are required to take the following courses:

• 5301 Partial Differential Equations
• 5345 Regression Analysis
• 5355 Applied and Algorithmic Graph Theory
• 5360 Mathematical Modelling
• 5373 Theory of Functions of Real Variables
• Either 5376A Design and Analysis of Experiments or 5376B Analysis of Variance.

Required Support Work Courses: All students must take 6 hours of graduate courses in one area of science other than mathematics; for example in Computer Science, Biology, Technology, Physics, and Chemistry. Students's selection of courses must be approved by the graduate adviser.

Prescribed Elective Courses (6 hours) All students are required to take at least 6 hours from the following mathematical courses. A student may choose to have a minor in the area of the required support work, in which case, only 3 hours of electives are needed. Students's selection of courses must be approved by the graduate adviser.

• 5305 Advanced Course in Probability and Statistics
• 5307 Modern Algebra
• 5312 Functions of a Complex Variable
• 5313 Field Theory
• 5317 Problems in advanced Mathematics
• 5336 Topics in Applied Mathematics
• 5340 Scientific Computation
• 5350 Combinatorics
• 5358 Applied Discrete Mathematics.

Master's Thesis and Comprehensive examination (6 hours) All students are required to take the Master's degree thesis courses Math 5399A and Math 5399B, and to take the written comprehensive exam.
