A typical Computational Mathematics Major (who in this example entered SPU in the fall of 2010) would follow the schedule below for the required mathematics and physics credits.  Some notes on the introductory computer science courses required for the major are also included below the table.  In addition, Computational Mathematics majors should meet with a Computer Science advisor prior to the junior year to plan how the upper division Computer Science will fit into the junior and senior years.  

  Autumn Winter Spring
Freshman Year (10-11) MAT 1234 Calculus I
MAT 1235 Calculus II
MAT 1236 Calculus III
Sophomore Year (11-12)






MAT 2401 Linear Algebra

PHY 1121 Physics for Science and Engineering


MAT 3237 Differential Equations

MAT 3360 Probability & Statistics

PHY 1122 Physics for Science and Engineering

MAT 3238 Vector Calculus

MAT 2720 Discrete Mathematics (could be taken in spring of junior year instead)

PHY 1123 Physics for Science and Engineering

Junior Year (12-13) MAT 3724 Applied Analysis (alternate years) MAT 4830 Mathematical Modeling (alternate years)  
Senior Year
(13-14)
 

MAT 4725 Numerical Analysis (alternate years)

 

Note that a number of courses are offered on alternate years.  It is therefore quite important to start out by taking the calculus sequence during the freshman year.   

CSC 1230, 2430, and 2431 should be taken either Autumn, Winter, Spring of the freshman year or Winter, Spring of the freshman year and Autumn of the sophomore year.

CSC 2220  Scientific Programming should be taken in the Autumn quarter of the sophomore year if at all possible.
