This degree is recommended for students who wish to work in the research and development area of industry or pursue a career in statistics. The degree provides a solid foundation in classical applied mathematics. The emphasis in applied mathematics provides a background in computational mathematics, which involves the study of computer solutions to mathematical problems in the sciences and engineering. Students who wish to pursue a career as a statistician can complete the emphasis in statistics. The emphasis in economics, finance and actuarial science prepares students for a career in business (e.g. accounting or management) or finance(e.g. investments, forecasting or financial analyst), as well as a career as an actuarial assistant or an actuary. The degree provides an appropriate background for graduate study in advanced applied mathematics, statistics, numerical analysis or operations research.
All upper division math courses except MATH 100W, MATH 101, MATH 105, MATH 106, MATH 107A, MATH 107B, and MATH 123 will be included in the major GPA, even if they are not used to satisfy a major requirement. If upper division requirements are fulfilled using transferred lower division courses, then additional upper division math courses will need to be taken to obtain the required number of upper division units.
