Emphasis in Probability and Statistics

Junior Year

  • In general, the student should take at least four applied mathematics courses at the 3000 level or higher.
  • Fall semester:听APPM 4350 (Methods in Applied Mathematics I), MATH 3001 of Advanced Calculus offered in Applied Math
  • Spring semester:听APPM 3570 (Applied Probability) and APPM 4360 (Methods in Applied Mathematics II)

Senior Year

  • The student should take at least six courses at the 3000 level or higher. At least two, and preferably four, of these courses should be at the 5000 level.
  • Fall semester:听APPM 4650 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis I), APPM 5560 (Markov Chains), APPM 5570 (Statistical Methods)

Fifth Year

  • The student should take at least four graduate level (5000 or higher) applied mathematics courses together with an approved graduate-level, out-of-department sequence.
  • Fall semester:听APPM 5600 (Numerical Analysis I), APPM 5xxx, TLEN 5310 (Telecommunication Systems) or other out-of-department sequence.
  • Spring semester:听APPM 5610 (Numerical Analysis II), APPM 5540 (Applied Time Series Analysis), TLEN 5400 (Traffic and Queueing Theory) or other out-of-department sequence.

Emphasis in Numerics and Modeling

Junior Year

  • In general, the student should take at least four applied mathematics courses at the 3000 level or higher.
  • Fall semester:听APPM 4650 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis I), APPM 4350 (Methods in Applied Mathematics I)
  • Spring semester:听APPM 4660 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis II) and APPM 4360 (Methods in Applied Mathematics II)

Senior Year

  • The student should take at least five courses at the 3000 level or higher. At least two, and preferably four, of these courses should be at the 5000 level.
  • Fall semester:听APPM 5600 (Numerical Analysis I), MATH 3001 or Advanced Calculus, APPM 5380 (Modeling in Applied Mathematics)
  • Spring semester:听APPM 5610 (Numerical Analysis II), APPM 5460 (Methods of Applied Mathematics: Dynamical Systems).

Fifth Year

  • The student should take at least four graduate level (5000 or higher) applied mathematics courses together with an approved graduate-level, out-of-department sequence.

  • Fall semester:听APPM 5470 (Methods of Applied Mathematcs: PDEs), APPM 6610 (Numerical Computation), CSCI 6676 (Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimization) of other 5xxx-level, out-of-department sequence

  • Spring semester:听APPM 5480 (Methods of Applied Mathematics: Approximation Methods), APPM 5xxx (special topics course), CSCI 6686 (Numerical Methods for Constrained Optimization) or other 5xxx-level course (out-of-department sequence or other special topics course).

Note:听This assumes that APPM 1350 (Calculus I), APPM 1360 (Calculus II), APPM 2350 (Calculus III), APPM 2360 (Differential Equations) and APPM 3310 (Matrix Methods) are taken in the freshman and sophomore years. This is a sample curriculum only. There are many other possibilities for completing the BS/MS requirements in Applied Mathematics. For example, a BS/MS student can also take courses leading to Java or Solaris certification.
