COURSES OF STUDY:

OPTION I: MATHEMATICS:

The core of this program consists of an in depth study of the mainstream of modern mathematics: algebra, analysis and topology.

REQUIRED COURSES (16 UNITS)	Units
Basic course work: MATH 501 Topology	3
MATH 550 Calculus on Manifolds	3
MATH 552 Real Analysis	3
MATH 655 Complex Analysis	3
MATH 560 Algebra	3
Participating Seminar: MATH 589 Seminar in Mathematics	1

ELECTIVES (15 UNITS)

Select approved courses. At least 6 of these 15 units must be at 500 or 600-level. Up to 6 units may be taken in fields outside mathematics with prior approval of the Graduate committee.

TOTAL UNITS REQUIRED FOR THE MS DEGREE, OPTION I: 31

OPTION II: APPLIED MATHEMATICS

The core of this program consists of the basic preparation in Analysis and courses in Differential Equations, Modeling, Numerical Analysis, or Probability/Statistics. This option allows students in collaboration with an adviser to design an individual course of study that best satisfies their needs.
