To receive a minor in Applied Mathematical Sciences, a student must complete the
following requirements:
Applied Mathematical Sciences
Requirements (20 units)
The Applied Mathematical Sciences minor consists of 5 courses (1 lower
division and 4 upper division) designed to give students the skills needed to
apply mathematical techniques and computational methods to solve problems in
the social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering.
Lower division courses (4
units)
- Scientific Data Analysis (MATH 18),
or
Probability and Statistics (MATH 32) [4 units]
Upper division courses (4
units)
- Applied Math Methods I (MATH 121) [4 units]
Additional Upper division courses (12
units)
A student must take at least three additional upper division Applied
Mathematics courses, of his or her choice, totaling at least 12 units. Only
one of those courses can be used to simultaneously fulfill a requirement for
a different minor or for a major. Possible
courses are:
- Applied Math Methods II (MATH 122) [4 units]
- Numerical Analysis I (MATH 131) [4 units]
- Numerical Analysis II (MATH 132) [4 units]
- Linear Analysis I (MATH 141) [4 units]
- Linear Analysis II (MATH 142) [4 units]
- Mathematical Modeling (MATH 150) [4 units]
- Independent Study (MATH 198) [4 units]
Note:
The following courses are prerequisites to the required course MATH 121:
- Calculus of a Single Variable I* (MATH 21) [4 units]
- Calculus of a Single Variable II (MATH 22) [4 units]
- Vector Calculus (MATH 23) [4 units]
- Intro to Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (MATH 24) [4 units]
*Integrated Calculus and Physics (ICP) [4 units] may be taken in
place of MATH 21.
