Applied mathematics explores the pure mathematical principles that undergird subjects of interest to other disciplines. The concentration includes a series of mathematics courses, an elective in applied mathematics or computer science, and an elective in another field.

The concentration consists of five courses:  three required courses -  Calculus III (MAT 2412), Linear Algebra (MAT 3310) and Applied Mathematics (MAT 4315); an elective in applied mathematics or computer science, selected from the following list:

• MAT 3324   Differential Equations
• MAT 3325   Complex Analysis
• MAT 3326   Probability
• MAT 3327   Statistics
• MAT 3338   Numerical Analysis
• MCS 3312   Analysis of Algorithms
• MCS 3316   Advanced Discrete Structures
• Courses as approved by the department

and an elective from a field other than mathematics or computer science.  Possible choices include:

• CHE 3331 Physical Chemistry I
• ECO 3327 Statistical Theory and Methods
• ECO 3328 Business and Economic Forecasting
• PHI 4333 Philosophy of Science
• PHY 3341 Optics
