BAM-AMEN-Pro Sample Curriculum

 

The following are example course plans only, speak with your advisor to plan your degree choices!

 

Emphasis in Probability and Statistics

Junior Year

  • In general, the student should take at least four applied mathematics courses at the 3000 level or higher.
  • Fall semester: APPM 4350 (Methods in Applied Mathematics I), MATH 3001 or Advanced Calculus offered in Applied Math
  • Spring semester: APPM 3570 (Applied Probability) and APPM 4360 (Methods in Applied Mathematics II)

Senior Year

  • The student should take at least six courses at the 3000 level or higher. At least two, and preferably four, of these courses should be at the 5000 level.
  • Fall semester: APPM 4650 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis I), APPM 5560 (Markov Chains), APPM 4610 (Statistical Learning)
  • Spring semester: APPM 4660 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis II), STAT 4520 (Mathematical Statistics), STAT 5400 (Advanced Statistical Modeling).

Fifth Year

  • The student should take at least four graduate-level (5000 or higher) applied mathematics courses together with an approved graduate-level, out-of-department sequence.
  • Fall semester: STAT 5350 (Applied Deep Learning), APPM 5xxx, first out-of-department sequence course. The student should also have a plan in place for completing their Culminating Experience (CE) project. Learn more about the Culminating Experience Project.

  • Spring semester: The student should take any required courses not yet taken, and the second course in the out-of-department sequence. Students should complete their CE project and apply to graduate. 

 

Emphasis in Numerics and Modeling

Junior Year

  • In general, the student should take at least four applied mathematics courses at the 3000 level or higher.
  • Fall semester: APPM 4650 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis I), APPM 4350 (Methods in Applied Mathematics I)
  • Spring semester: APPM 4660 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis II) and APPM 4360 (Methods in Applied Mathematics II)

Senior Year

  • The student should take at least five courses at the 3000 level or higher. At least two, and preferably four, of these courses should be at the 5000 level.
  • Fall semester: APPM 5600 (Numerical Analysis I), MATH 3001 or Advanced Calculus, APPM 5380 (Modeling in Applied Mathematics)
  • Spring semester: APPM 5610 (Numerical Analysis II), APPM 5460 (Methods of Applied Mathematics: Dynamical Systems).

Fifth Year

  • The student should take at least four graduate level (5000 or higher) applied mathematics courses together with an approved graduate-level, out-of-department sequence.
  • Fall semester: APPM 5470 (Methods of Applied Mathematics: PDEs), APPM 5620 (Numerical Linear Algebra), CSCI 6676 (Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimization) or other 5xxx-level, first out-of-department sequence. The student should also have a plan in place for completing their Culminating Experience (CE) project. Learn more about the Culminating Experience Project.

  • Spring semester: The student should take any required courses not yet taken, and the second course in the out-of-department sequence. Students should complete their CE project and apply to graduate. 

Note: This assumes that APPM 1350 (Calculus I), APPM 1360 (Calculus II), APPM 2350 (Calculus III), APPM 2360 (Differential Equations) and APPM 3310 (Matrix Methods) are taken in the freshman and sophomore years. This is a sample curriculum only. There are many other possibilities for completing the BS/MS requirements in Applied Mathematics. For example, a BS/MS student can also take courses leading to Java or Solaris certification.
