Scientific Modeling Sequence

1. Computer Science and Programming (2 courses)

• CSCI 051 CM - Introduction to Computer Science

• or

• PHYS 108 KS - Programming for Science and Engineering

•  

• CSCI 062 CM - Data Structures and Advanced Programming

2. Mathematics and Computation (3 courses)

• BIOL 133L KS - Dynamical Diseases: Introduction to Mathematical Physiology
• PHYS 100 KS - Computational Physics and Engineering

  MATH165  HM - Numerical Analysis

• PHYS 105 KS - Computational Partial Differential Equations

• or

  a comparable mathematics course, such as Numerical Analysis and Numerical Solutions

3. Research Project in Scientific Modeling (1 course)

The project may be the student’s senior thesis or another research project. Students who use senior thesis for this requirement will be asked to present their research at the end of the semester in which they complete the thesis.

Mathematics:

• MATH 032 CM - Calculus III
• MATH 060 CM - Linear Algebra
• MATH 111 CM - Differential Equations
• MATH 180 CM - Partial Differential Equations (recommended)

Physics:

• PHYS 030L KS - General Physics
• PHYS 031L KS - General Physics

• or

• PHYS 033L KS - Principles of Physics
• PHYS 034L KS - Principles of Physics

Biology:

• BIOL 043L KS - Introductory Biology

Chemistry:

• CHEM 014L KS - Basic Principles of Chemistry
• CHEM 015L KS - Basic Principles of Chemistry

Note:

The introductory science requirements in biology, chemistry and physics will also be completed by both semesters of the Accelerated Integrated Science Sequence (AISS ).
