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 5600 (Numerical Analysis I), APPM 5xxx, TLEN 5310 (Telecommunication Systems) or other out-of-      department sequence.
   • Spring semester: APPM 5610 (Numerical Analysis II), APPM 5540 (Applied Time Series Analysis), TLEN 5400 (Traffic and Queueing    Theory) or other out-of-department sequence.

SAMPLE CURRICULUM (Emphasis in Numerics and Modeling)

   • 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 6610 (Numerical Computation), CSCI 6676 (Numerical    Methods for Unconstrained Optimization) or other 5xxx-level, out-of-department sequence.
   • Spring semester: APPM 5480 (Methods of Applied Mathematics: Approximation Methods), APPM 5xxx (special topics course),      CSCI 6686 (Numerical Methods for Constrained Optimization) or 5xxx-level course (out-of-department sequence or other special       topics course).

Note
   • These assume 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.
   • These are sample curriculum only. There are many other possibilities for completing the BS/MS requirements in Applied      Mathematics.
