Major Requirements
Students earn a major in Mathematics by choosing between two paths: Mathematics or Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Requirements in Applied Mathematics and Statistics are:
- Four courses that are introductory to the major (taken in any order):
COMP 123 - Core Concepts in Computer Science
MATH 155 - Introduction to Statistical Modeling
MATH 236 - Linear Algebra
MATH 237 - Multivariable Calculus
- Five intermediate or advanced courses. At least four must be chosen from the following list of applied courses. Of these four courses you must choose a minimum of two with a Statistical (S) designation and at least one 400-level Capstone Course taken before spring semester of the senior year.
MATH 253 - Statistical Computing and Machine Learning (S)
MATH 312 - Differential Equations
MATH 354 - Probability (S)
MATH 365 - Computational Linear Algebra (S)
MATH 432 - Mathematical Modeling
MATH 437 - Topics in Applied Mathematics
MATH 453 - Survival Analysis (S)
MATH 454 - Bayesian Statistics (S)
MATH 455 - Mathematical Statistics (S)
MATH 479 - Network Science
COMP 302 - Introduction to Database Management Systems (S)
COMP 484 - Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (S)
NOTE: At most, one pure MATH course - numbered 250 or above - which does not appear in the list above may count toward one of the five intermediate or advanced courses.
- One computation course (which may simultaneiously meet requirement 2 above) chosen from the following list:
COMP 124 - Object-Oriented Programming and Data Structures
COMP 221 - Algorithm Design and Analysis
COMP 302 - Introduction to Database Management Systems
COMP 340 - Digital Electronics
COMP 346 - Internet Computing
COMP 365 - Computational Linear Algebra
COMP 484 - Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
MATH 253 - Statistical Computing and Machine Learning
- An integrative experience in the form of at least one of the following:
An internship or summer research project approved by the department;
A minor or major in anothe rdepartment tied to applied mathematics or statistics (e.g., physics, economics, psychology, sociology, chemistry, biology, geology, geography, environmental studies, computer science) approved on a case-by-case basis by the department;
A preceptorship in two mathematics (MATH) or computer science (COMP) courses
- Pass the Capstone presentation requirement
