  2. There must be 12 credit hours in specialized mathematics courses selected from the following:
    • MATH 609 (Numerical Analysis);
    • MATH 632 (A Transition to Graduate Level Mathematics);
    • MATH 640 (Linear Algebra for Applications);
    • MATH 696 (Mathematical Communication and Technology).
  3. There must be 12 hours of graduate distance mathematics courses, selected from the following:
    • MATH 602 (Methods and Applications of PDE);
    • MATH 610 (Numerical PDE);
    • MATH 613 (Graph Theory);
    • MATH 614 (Dynamical Systems and Chaos);
    • MATH 615 (Introduction to Classical Analysis);

    • Math 685 (Directed Studies*);
    • MATH 689 (Special Topics).

    * Math 685 (typically 1 credit hour, no more 3 credit hours) will be allowed only with the permission of the Committee Chair and the Director of the Program.

  4. There must be one graduate course in statistical methods. Suggested courses include:
    • STAT 601 (Statistical Analysis);
    • STAT 608 (Regression Analysis);
    • STAT 630 (Mathematical Statistics);
    • STAT 651 (Statistics in Research I).
  5. This leaves 9 of 36 credits to be chosen in consultation with the student's advisor.

**Math 619 is allowed in place of your Statistics course with permission of the Director of the Program.
