AM&S Graduation Checklist
1. Calculus I, II, and III: The courses 110.106-107, 110.108-109, or 110.111-112 can be used to satisfy the Calculus I and II requirements. The courses 110.202 or 110.211-212 satisfy the Calculus III requirements. Advanced placement is acceptable as well.
2. Two courses in linear algebra and differential equations. These two courses must, collectively, touch both areas. There are two ways to meet this two-course requirement: (a) 110.201 or 110.212 for linear algebra, and 110.302, 110.417, 550.386, or 550.391 for differential equations; or (b) 550.291 for an introduction to both linear algebra and differential equations, and an additional course in linear algebra or differential equations chosen from among the following: 550.385, 550.386, 550.391, 550.692, and 110.417.
3. A course in computing emphasizing numerical/scientific computing: 500.200, 570.210, 550.281, 550.385, or 550.386 is acceptable. (Other courses may be substituted with adviser’s approval.)
4. A course in discrete mathematics: 550.171, 550.371, 550.471, or 550.472 is acceptable.
5. two courses in probability and statistics, chosen from 550.310, 550.311, 550.420, and 550.430. (Either 550.310 or 550.311 [but not both] can be used for this purpose.)
6. Typically 550.361, but an approved graduate optimization course may be substituted.
7. A sequence of three approved courses in an area of application (outside the department). At least one of these courses must be quantitatively oriented and be at the 300-level or above. Appropriate fields include, but are not restricted to, biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, computer science, earth and planetary sciences, economics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, psychology, sociology, and systems analysis for public decision making.
8. Students must complete at least five Applied Mathematics & Statistics courses at or above the 300 level. One Mathematics department course in either real analysis (110.405) or higher, abstract algebra (110.401) or differential equations (110.302) may be used towards this five course total.
