Applied Mathematical Sciences, Computational and Data Sciences, B.S.

Requirements for the Applied Mathematical Sciences Major

Applied Mathematical Sciences Requirements (80-82 units): In addition to General Education  and School of Natural Sciences Requirements , the Applied Mathematical Sciences major consists of 20 or 21 courses (10 lower division and 10 or 11 upper division, depending on the emphasis track chosen) designed to give all students a common foundation of core knowledge specific to the discipline, plus breadth in an application area.

Requirements for Computational and Data Sciences Emphasis Track [15 Units]

Complete all of the following courses:

• MATH 132: Numerical Methods for Differential Equations [4 units] ^>
• MATH 140: Mathematical Methods for Optimization [4 units]
• MATH 146: Numerical Linear Algebra [4 units] ^>
• MATH 180: Modern Applied Statistics [4 units]
• MATH 181: Stochastic Processes [4 units]

•  

  ^>Both of these courses must be completed, one of which will be used to satisfy a major core requirement.
