The following courses are recommended for the M.S. or Ph.D. in Applied
Mathematics for those interested in operations research. (These are in
addition to standard math requirements, like analysis and linear algebra.)
Mathematics courses numbered above 6000 are Ph.D. level courses.
There are other courses, outside the Mathematics Department, which are
also suitable for an OR program, notably in Business Administration,
Economics, Engineering and Science.
