The Concentration in Applied Mathematics requires 12 or more credits in a coherent set
of courses outside the Mathematics Department approved by the Associate Chair. We
recommend that you have the courses you plan to take in the related area approved
before you take the courses. Get a form for requesting approval of courses for your
related area from the Mathematics Department office (Weber 101).
There are many coherent sets of courses suitable for the Concentration in Applied
Mathematics. Here are some popular combinations that have been approved in the past.
1. (Physical Sciences) Any combination of PH courses numbered greater than
PH142, AA courses numbered greater than 200 and CHEM courses numbered
greater than CHEM107, in addition to credits used in column 1 under
Biological/Physical Sciences.
2. (Computer Science and Statistics) Any combination of CS courses and/or STAT
courses, in addition to credits used in column 2 under the Computer Science,
Statistics or Mathematical Sciences Electives.
3. (Engineering) Any combination of ATS, CBE, ECE, ENGR, EGSC courses
and/or CIVE courses numbered CIVE260 or greater and/or BIOM numbered
greater than 200.
4. (Accounting, Finance and Business CS/Statistics) Any combination of ACT, CIS,
FIN and QNT courses numbered 200 or greater.
5. (Economics) Any combination of AREC and/or ECON courses (in addition to
credits used in column 1 under Behavioral and Social Sciences).
We urge you to select courses that reflect your interests and goals to satisfy the related
area requirements in your program of study. The sets of courses listed are not the only
possibilities. A main criterion for approval is the use of mathematics (as for example
indicated by direct or implicit prerequisites. This means for example that most courses in
areas such as BUS, MGT, MKT are unlikely to be approved.)
