Courses and Hours

The course work requirements for the Applied Mathematics Option shall be as follows. A candidate must complete 34 semester hours of graded course work. These courses must be numbered 500 or above (except for up to 9 hours of non-graduate level graded course work). Twelve hours of course work must be chosen from the two groups below and must ordinarily include at least two courses from each group. A course appearing in more than one group may only count towards fulfilling the requirement in one of those groups.

Modelling and Applied Analysis: Math 415, 508, 512, 523, 533, 440/540, 441/541, 560, 561, 563, 568, 569, 570, 571, 572, 573, 574, 586

Computational Mathematics and Optimization: Math 464, 543, 544, 545, 546, 448/548, 564, 565, 566, 567, 574; Stat 533, 536, 544

In addition to the 12 hours chosen from the two groups, 12 further hours of Mathematics courses must be taken. These 12 further hours must be numbered 400 and above. Of this total 24 hours of required course work in Mathematics, at least 18 hours must be numbered 500 and above. Conjoint courses shall count as 400 level courses for these requirements. Exception to these requirements may be recommended by the student's Doctoral Committee and must be approved by the Mathematics Graduate Studies Committee.

All doctoral students are required to take one hour of Math 500, Proseminar, which will include short presentations by faculty on their research areas. Further course work may be required by the Program of Study, which will be assembled in consultation with the student's Doctoral Committee. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Applied Mathematics Seminar throughout their graduate studies.
