NOTE: Substantial changes have recently been made to the
mathematics curriculum. The table below shows the new Computational
Mathematics degree requirements which will apply to all students who entered SPU in
the Fall of 2008 or later. The old degree
requirements will continue to apply for most students who entered SPU before
Fall 2008.
B.S. in Computational Mathematics
The bachelor of science degree in
computational mathematics is an interdisciplinary major designed for students
interested in careers involving the applications of mathematics and computer
science. The major
emphasizes applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, and programming. A total of
48 credits in mathematics, 15 credits in physics, and 39 credits in computer
science are required for the major. A minimum of 48 upper division credits
in math and computer science are required. A GPA of 2.5 must be maintained for all
courses in the major.
Admission to the Major
A student interested in majoring in
computational mathematics needs to have a GPA of 2.5 or above in 15 credits of
courses which apply to the major and must submit a
major application
form to a member of the mathematics faculty.

Some courses are only offered every other year, so good planning is recommended.
Take a look at the Sample Schedule to see how a
typical computational mathematics major might plan her/his course of study, or
look at the Course Schedule page to see which mathematics courses are offered which years. Consult the Computer Science
Department for further information about the scheduling of CSC courses.
