FIU Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences

Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences
   

Degree Program Hours: 120

The work towards a Bachelor degree in Mathematical Sciences emphasizes study of applied mathematics and it is supplemented by additional requirements in computer science and applied statistics.

•  Lower Division Preparation
       
  To qualify for admission to the program, FIU undergraduates must have met all the lower division requirements including CLAST, completed 60 semester hours, and must be otherwise acceptable into the program.
   

• Required Courses
  
  MAC 2311   Calculus I
  MAC 2312   Calculus II
  MAC 2313   Calculus III
  MAP 2302    Differential Equations
  MAS 3105    Linear Algebra
  One of :   COP 2210   Introduction to Programming
                 COP 2250   Java Programming
                 CGS 2423   C for Engineers
  In addition, we require the completion of two of the following non-math courses with lab
  
    

• Upper Division Program
    
  Required Courses
     
  COP 3337 Intermediate Programming(3 credits)  
  COP 2400 Assembly Language Programming (3 credits)
  MAD 2104 Discrete Mathematics (3 credits)
  MAD 3401 Numerical Analysis (3 credits)
  MAD 3512 Introduction to the Theory of Algorithms (3 credits)
  MAP 4401 Advanced Differential Equations (3 credits)
  STA 3163 Statistical Methods I (3 credits)
  STA 3164 Statistical Method II(3 credits)
  
     
  In addition, two courses from the following list:
    
  COP 3530 Data Structures(3 credits)
  MAA 4402 Complex Variables (3 credits)
  MAD 3305 Graph Theory (3 credits)
  MAP 3103 Mathematical Modeling (3 credits)
  MHF 4302 Mathematical Logic (3 credits)
  STA 5446 Probability Theory (3 credits)
  MAD 4203 Inroduction to Combinatorics* (3 credits)
  STA 4603 Mathematical Techniques of Operations Research I* (3 credits)
  STA 4604 Mathematical Techniques of Operations Research II* (3 credits)
  MAD 5405 Numerical Methods* (3 credits)
  MAS 5145 Applied Linear Algebra* (3 credits)
   
  
  * These courses are not yet officially on this list, but a  waiver can be obtained from the math department to make these acceptable for graduation.
  
     
  Electives
     
  The balance of the 60 semester hour requirement for graduation may be chosen from any courses in the university approved by the student's advisor.
    
  Remarks: The following courses are not acceptable for credit toward graduation, unless a student has passed the course before declaring a Mathematical Sciences major: MAC 2233, STA 1013, STA 3122-23, STA 2023, and QMB 3150 (College of Business Administration).

• Minor in Mathematical Sciences
     
  Required Courses
    
  MAC 2311-2-3. Calculus I,II,III (or equivalent).
  Plus MAP 2302 and MAS 3105 and two courses from those approved for the Mathematical Sciences Upper Division Program. A grade of "C" or higher is necessary for the minor.
     
  Remarks: Courses completed elsewhere may be applied to the Mathematical Sciences minor, with the approval of the department. However, at least 2 of the 4 courses noted above, excluding MAC 2311-2-3, must be completed at FIU.
