Students graduating from our MS program in Mathematics will be able to:

Take on a significant mathematical or statistical project, solve the problem, and communicate the results of their research.

Be successful in their postgraduate academic and professional careers.

Learn new Mathematics on their own.

The graduate requirements are:

Modeling courses (6 credits):

MATH 430 (Mathematical Modeling); MATH 530 (Modeling Case Studies)

Core industrial mathematics courses (6 credits)

Two of the following: MATH 511 (Numerical Methods); MATH 518 (Nonlinear Programming); MATH 532 (Perturbation Methods); MATH 535 (Mathematical Physics); MATH 587 (Time Series)

A concentration of four related courses (12 credits), at least two at the 500鈥恖evel (beyond the two in requirement 2) and at least two in another department, and additional courses to satisfy the general requirements of the Master of Science degree. The courses to satisfy this requirement must be approved by the Industrial Mathematics group.

Each student spends one term, usually summer, in an internship in an industrial position. This internship is arranged by the student, with the approval of the Industrial Mathematics group and should involve mathematical modeling, computation and analysis.

An interdisciplinary program in operations research and statistics is available at the graduate level within the various departments at 色狐入口 Tech. To specialize in this area, the student must fulfill the requirements for the undergraduate program in mathematics and complete MATH 415, 483, and one of either MATH 486 ,488 or 582 or the equivalent.

Students graduating from our MS program in Mathematics will be able to:

Take on a significant mathematical or statistical project, solve the problem, and communicate the results of their research.

Be successful in their postgraduate academic and professional careers.

Learn new Mathematics on their own.

Graduate work would consist of:

A minimum of 12 credit hours from MATH 515, 516, 517, 518, 519, 582, 583, 586, 587, 588, 589. At least one course (three credit hours) must be chosen from MATH 515, 517, or 518.

Additional courses subject to the approval of the student鈥檚 advisor to complete the requirements of the Graduate School. Related courses include ES 316; MGT 462, 472, 473; MATH 384, 386, 410, 411, 484, 505, and 521.

Students of exceptional ability, as demonstrated in a master鈥檚 degree program or in previous courses, may pursue a program leading to the doctoral degree. Although the master鈥檚 degree is not a requirement for the PhD degree, the experience gained in writing a master鈥檚 thesis or independent study project is valuable.

Students graduating from our PhD program in Mathematics will be able to:

Produce high quality work.

Be successful in their postgraduate academic and professional careers.

Up to 30 hours from a master鈥檚 degree, excluding thesis and S/U courses, may be included.

48 hours of coursework approved by the student鈥檚 advisory committee, including:

All of the following, if not already taken

MATH 410, 411, 435, 437, 438, 471

500鈥恖evel MATH courses (30 credit hours) consisting of:

MATH 530 (3), 532 (3)

Six (6) credit hours of core classes: MATH 511, 535, 538, 539, 577

Four or more of the remaining classes are to be additional core classes (above), courses from the list of recommended classes (below) or other classes approved in advance by the student鈥檚 committee. Students are strongly encouraged to include MATH 509, Graduate Internship, in their program.

Recommended classes

MATH 509, 510, 512, 518, 519, 531, 533, 536, 537, 587 or other 12 hours of upper鈥恉ivision or graduate鈥恖evel courses from outside the math department

Dissertation (24 credit hours): MATH 595

Preliminary exams in differential equations, analysis, and numerical analysis (usually taken in the third semester, or in the second semester for students who already have a master鈥檚 degree). Students may, if necessary, repeat one or more exams the following semester. Students who do not receive satisfactory scores after two attempts will not be accepted into the PhD program.
