Requirements for the Sc.B. Degree in Applied Math and Computer Science
Concentration Prerequisites (2 courses)
Math
An approved math course (any Math course beyond 90 except for 420, or Applied Math 330).
Writing
A student must take at least one course that satisfies the CS Department Writing Requirement.
Concentration Requirements (16 or 17 courses)
Core
Mathematics
- Math 180 or 350
- Math 520 or 540
Applied Mathematics
- APMA 350
- APMA 360
- APMA 1170 or APMA 1180
Computer Science
- (CSCI 150 and CSCI 160) or
(CSCS 170 and CSCS 180)
or CSCI 190 - CSCI 220
- Two of
- CSCI 310
- CSCI 320
- CSCI 510
Additional Requirements
- Three 1000-level Computer Science courses. These three courses must include a pair of courses with a coherent theme. A list of approved pairs may be found at the approved-pairs web page. In other words, one of the two must be chosen as a core course and the other must be chosen as the third advanced course.
- Three 1000-level Applied Mathematics courses approved by the concentration advisor, of which at least two should constitute a standard sequence or address a common theme. Typical sequences include APMA 1200/1210 and APMA 1650/1660.
- A capstone course: a one-semester course, normally taken in the student's last undergraduate year, in which the student (or group of students) use a significant portion of their undergraduate education, broadly interpreted, in studying some current topic in depth, to produce a culminating artifact such as a paper or software project.
