Applied Math Minor Requirements

The minor in Applied Mathematics was developed to provide in-depth training in mathematical techniques and computational methods well beyond the training usually received by science and engineering majors. The minor in Applied Mathematics currently offers three tracks: General Emphasis, Scientific Computing and Mathematical Software, or Probability and Statistics. The goals of each track are to introduce students to more advanced mathematical techniques and problem-solving strategies. Such skills are becoming increasingly important for students who expect to participate in areas requiring analysis or modeling of real world situations.

Prerequisites for the Applied Math minor are two semesters of calculus and computing experience such as provided by CSCI 13XX or COEN 1300 (formerly GEEN 1300).

Residency

A minimum of 20 credits at the 2000-level and above is required. At least three applied mathematics courses, two of which must be at the 3000-level or above, need to be taken on the Boulder campus. No more than nine credit hours may be applied from transfer work; of those nine, no more than six may be 3000-level or above.

Minimum Grades

A cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better is required in the courses that are used to satisfy the requirements for this minor. Each individual course that is counted towards these degree requirements must be passed with a grade of C- or better.

Course Requirements
