Undergraduate Option

The undergraduate option in applied and computational mathematics is for those students who want to combine their basic studies in mathematics with considerable involvement in applications. The program is similar in general outline to the mathematics option, with additional requirements to ensure a balance between courses that develop mathematical concepts and courses that show the interplay of these concepts with a variety of applications. Complete programs will be worked out with faculty advisers.


Option Requirements

1. Ma 5 abc or Ma 108 abc, and ACM 95 abc, ACM 101 abc, and E 10.

2. An approved sequence of three one-quarter courses to be selected from the following: ACM 104, ACM 105, ACM 106 abc, ACM 113, ACM 116, ACM/ESE 118, ACM 126 ab, ACM 151 ab.

3. One of the following (or an approved combination): Ma/CS 6 abc, Ma 109 abc, Ma 110 abc, Ma 120 abc, Ma 121 abc, Ma 122 a, EE/Ma 126 ab, EE/Ma 127 ab, CS/EE/Ma 129 abc, Ma151abc.

4. One 27-unit 100 or higher level course in science or engineering not in ACM or Ma and approved by the studentŐs adviser.

5. Passing grades must be obtained in a total of 483 units, including the courses listed above.
