Select one (1) Analytical Methods for Math Modeling Course (700‐level) from the Applied and Computational Mathematics, Computer Science, or other program that may count towards the required foundational course in advanced analytical methods for math modeling. The course is required to be mathematically based and have at least a calculus prerequisite. Courses outside of ACM (625.7xx) or CS (605.7xx) need to be approved by an advisor.

Courses by Focus Area

Four (4) elective courses (12 credits) from one of the eight focus areas. Two (2) of these four courses must be at the 700 level.

Courses below must be separate from those taken towards the six foundational courses. For example, if 625.633 Monte Carlo Methods was taken as one of the foundational courses (as part of the choice between 625.623 Introduction to Operations Research or 625.633), then it may not also be counted towards a focus area. In addition, the required 700‐level course in advanced analytical methods for math modeling (part of the six foundational courses) cannot also be counted towards a focus area.
