Computational Biology Option for M.S. in Applied Mathematics
This option is available to students who have been admitted to the
Graduate Program in Mathematics.
Core courses (required), 3 credits each:
| MATH | 5396 | Bayesian Statistics
| | MATH | 5610 | Computational Biology
| | MATH | 5718 | Linear Algebra
| | MATH | 5070 | Applied Analysis
| | CSC | 5451 | Algorithms
| | BIOL | 5099* | Biology for
Computer Scientists, Engineers and Mathematicians
| MATH
or CSC | 5840 | Independent Study (3 credits):
Complex programming project
(supervised by a participating faculty)
|
|
|
*If you have strong background in biology, you can replace this with
an approved graduate course in biology or chemistry, such as those
listed below.
|
In addition to the 21 credit hours of required courses, you must take
9 elective credits, for a total of 30 credit hours. Of these, at least
6 credits must be approved graduate courses in mathematics, and we
encourage that these 6 credits be fulfilled by a Master's Thesis (MATH 5950).
The other 3 credits of electives can be any approved graduate course.
The following are pre-approved:
MATH 5060 Exploratory Data Analysis
MATH 5405 Applied Graph Theory
MATH 5593 Linear Programming
MATH 5595 Computational Methods in Nonlinear Programming
MATH 5791 Continuous Modeling
MATH 5576 Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
CSC 5582 Artificial Intelligence
CSC 5559 Database Systems
BIOL 5124 Molecular Biology
BIOL 5550 Cell Signaling
CHEM 5810 General Biochemistry I

(Part-time students simply take fewer courses per semester.)
| Note
Each student in the Computational Biology option can take 12 credits outside
of the Mathematics Department (in courses listed above). This is an exception
to the general rule that requires 24 credits in (graduate) Mathematics courses.
