B.S. Degree in Applied Mathematics Requirements
The B.S. degree in Applied Mathematics requires the completion of a minimum of 128 credit hours of acceptable coursework with cumulative and major grade point averages of C (2.00) or better. Students must complete the following minimum requirements:
1. Three semesters of calculus. (APPM 1350, APPM 1360 and APPM 2350 or MATH 1300, MATH 2300 and MATH 2400) with a minimum grade of C- in each course.
2. Computing Experience: Select one of APPM 1710, APPM 2750, CSCI 1300 or GEEN 1300.
3. Science requirement: Completion of PHYS 1110, 1120, and 1140. Completion of at least 5 additional credits of chemistry or biology (including 2 credits of laboratory science) chosen from one of the following:
a. CHEN 1211 and CHEM 1221
b. CHEM 1151
c. EBIO 1210, 1220, 1230, and 1240
d. MCDB 1150, 1151, 2150, and 2151
Note to IUT students: Students choosing options 3c or 3d must be enrolled in (or have completed) PHYS 1120 at the time of their IUT application.
4. Completion of the following required courses:
APPM 2360 (Differential Equations with Linear Algebra)
APPM 3310 (Matrix Methods)
APPM 4350 (Methods in Applied Mathematics I)
APPM 4360 (Methods in Applied Mathematics II)
APPM 4650 (Intermediate Numerical Analysis I)
one of the following: APPM 4440 or MATH 3001 or MATH 3140
(Note: Students who have completed MATH 3000, 3200, or 4130 have satisfied this requirement)
5. A two semester course sequence of applied mathematics or mathematics courses numbered 4000 or above in addition to APPM 4350 and 4360 (Possible sequences include: APPM 4650/4660 or APPM 4570/4580 or APPM 4560/4520 or APPM 4440/4450 or APPM 4380/4390 or APPM 3570 and either APPM 4520 or APPM 4560). Note: APPM 3570 is the only 3000-level course that can be used to satisfy this requirement.
6. A minimum of 24 credits in applied mathematics or mathematics courses numbered 3000 or above (including the required courses). No more than 3 credits of APPM 4840 may count towards these 24. No more than six credits of independent study are allowed for credit towards the BS in Applied math.
7. A minimum of 24 credits in engineering courses (or approved courses with significant mathematical content in A&S or Business) with at least 15 credits in courses numbered 2000 or above and at least 6 credits in courses numbered 3000 or above. These 24 credits are in addition to those required credits listed in numbers 2 and 3 (mentioned above). Several possible options are listed separately.
8. Humanities and Social Sciences requirements of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (18 credits), which include WRTG 3030. Students may take WRTG 3035, GEEN 3000, HUEN 3100, or PHYS 3050 in place of WRTG 3030. Humanities and social science electives must not be limited to a selection of unrelated introductory courses. At least 9 credit hours must be at the 3000-level or above. See http://engineering.Colorado.edu/HOMER for a complete list of courses which can be used to satisfy this requirement.
