With the recent advances in computer technology, applied mathematics techniques are playing more and more important roles in new product design and development in business and industry. Our undergraduate program in applied mathematics will prepare you for the competitive job market of tomorrow.

Objectives

• Prepare students to use theories and techniques to formulate and solve practical problems in business, government, engineering and physical, life, and social sciences.
• Train students by developing their understanding of a wide spectrum of scientific phenomena through the application of rigorous mathematical analysis and modern technological advances.
• Create an environment that encourages the student to be an active learner, to participate in the construction of their own learning, to investigate and explore in a realistic context.

Curriculum

Major in Applied Mathematics
Minimum required: 120 semester hour

General Requirements:
1.  A minimum of 9 writing intensive hours and a total of 36  advanced hours are required to graduate. An advanced course is one that is numbered above 3000 and below 5000.
     
2.  See the University College section of the catalog for general  education core curriculum requirements. PHYS 1430 is highly  recommended as one of the 7-8 hours of natural science since it  is a prerequisite for MATH 3375 in the advanced MATH electives.
     
3.  If two years of the same foreign language were taken in high school, then no additional language hours required for the degree.  In the absence of such high school language, two semesters of the same modern language must be taken at the college level.
     
4.  Even though MATH 2471 is the first required mathematics course, some  students will need to take courses numbered below 2471. Credit   examinations in MATH 1315, 2417, and 2471are available.
    
5.  At least 38 hours are required in mathematics. and must include  MATH 2358, 2471, 2472, 3305, 3323, 3330, 3373, 3377, 3380 and 9  semester hours of advanced mathematics from  the following courses:  MATH 3348, 3375, 3398, 4305, 4306, 4307, 4315 or 4336.
     
6.  See the list of minors under the Degrees and Programs section  of this catalog. Minor and electives should be chosen in  consultation with the academic advisor.
 

-----------------------------------------------

A minor in Applied Mathematics requires at least 20 hours, including MATH 2471, 2472 and the remaining courses from this list: MATH 3305, 3323, 3348, 3373, 3375, 3377, 3398, 4306, PHYS 3320, CS 3378, or
IE 3320.

Students can take only one of: PHYS 3320, SC 3378, or IE 3320; and students may not receive credit for both MATH 3305 and IE 3320.
