  Newark Undergraduate Catalog 2018-2020 School of Arts and Sciences-Newark Academic Programs and Courses Mathematics 640 Major Requirements: Applied Mathematics  

Major Requirements: Applied Mathematics


The applied mathematics major is offered jointly by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Rutgers University-Newark and the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The program is designed to provide students with preparation for employment in technology-based industries or graduate study in a number of scientific fields, including applied mathematics and mathematics. Students may register for mathematics, computer science, and physics courses offered at NJIT under the prefixes 28:640, 28:198, 28:750, respectively. For example, the course listed as Math 346 in the NJIT catalog becomes 28:640:346 for Rutgers students.

A total of 59 credits is required for the applied mathematics major.

Three sequences of courses are required:

1.  21:198:101,102  Computers and Programming I,II* (3,3) or 28:198:113,114*

2.  21:640:135,136,235  Calculus I,II,III* (4,4,4) or 28:640:111,112,213

3.  21:750:213,214  University Physics I,II (4,4) or 28:750:111,121**

The following individual courses also are required:

   21:640:238  Foundations of Modern Mathematics (3) or 21:640:237  Discrete Structures (3) (238 preferred)

  21:640:314  Elementary Differential Equations (3) or 28:640:222 (3)

  21:640:327  Probability and Statistics (3) or 28:640:333 (3)

  21:640:350  Linear Algebra (3) or 28:640:337 (3)

  21:640:423  Elementary Partial Differential Equations (3) or 28:640:331 (3)

  21:640:473  Numerical Analysis (3) or 28:198:421 (3)

  21:640:475  Applied Mathematics I (3) or 28:640:560 (3)

  21:640:476  Applied Mathematics II (3) or 28:640:561 (3)

In addition, three mathematics courses at the 300 or 400 level are required. Some recommended electives are:

  21:640:311  Advanced Calculus I (3)

  21:640:312  Advanced Calculus II (3)

  28:640:344  Regression Analysis (3)

  28:640:346  Mathematics of Finance (3)

  28:640:371  Physiology and Medicine I (3)

  21:640:403  Introductory Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable (3) or 28:640:332 (3)

  21:640:410  Vector Analysis (3) or 28:640:335 (3)

  21:640:424  Operations Research (3)  


The required courses 21:640:475 and 21:640:476 are writing intensive, and together satisfy the writing requirement for applied mathematics majors. Foundations 21:640:238 is also writing-intensive.

Here is a prerequisite flow chart for the required courses in the applied mathematics major.  Applied mathematics majors should take 21:640:314 immediately after completing 21:640:136/156.

The following is a recommended sequence for completing the courses required for an applied mathematics major. Additional courses are required by the student's college of matriculation for graduation.
