Bachelor of Science in Applied and Computational Mathematical Sciences - Engineering and Physical Sciences

Mathematical models form the basis for much of our understanding of the physical world and are used to predict and analyze complex phenomena. Theoretical and computational linear algebra, Fourier analysis, and differential equations are particularly important since they are essential in modeling mechanical systems, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and wave motion of all kinds (electromagnetic, sound, seismic, water waves, etc.). The Engineering and Physical Sciences option exposes students to these classical areas of applied mathematics. It is also ideal as a second major for students in engineering or a physical science.

To be eligible for full admission consideration, applicants must present the following: Completion of a college-preparatory course of study to include the following high school credits: a. 4 high school credits of English; b. 2 high school credits of a single world language; c. 3 high school credits of mathematics: algebra, geometry, and preferably trigonometry (a fourth high school credit of mathematical analysis or calculus is recommended forstudents preparing for majors in the sciences or engineering; d. 3 high school credits of socialscience; e. 3 high school credits of science, including 2 years of labscience; f. 1 senior-year math-based quantitative course; g. 0.5 high school credits of the fine, visual, or performing arts; h. 0.5 high school credits of electives taken from the above areas; One high school credit represents a standard full year of high school coursework.
