Scientific Modeling Sequence

1. Computer Science and Programming (2 courses)

• CSCI051 CM - Introduction to Computer Science

• or

• PHYS108 KS - Programming for Science and Engineering

•  

• CSCI062 CM - Data Structures and Advanced Programming

2. Mathematics and Computation (3 courses)

• BIOL133L KS - Introduction to Computational Neuroscience
• PHYS100 KS - Computational Physics and Engineering

• or

  MATH165 CM - Numerical Analysis  

   

• PHYS105 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:

• MATH032 CM - Calculus III
• MATH060 CM - Linear Algebra
• MATH111 CM - Differential Equations
• MATH180 CM - Partial Differential Equations (recommended)

Physics:

• PHYS030L KS - General Physics for the Life Sciences
• PHYS031L KS - General Physics for the Life Sciences

• or

• PHYS033L KS - Principles of Physics
• PHYS034L KS - Principles of Physics

Biology:

• BIOL043L KS - Introductory Biology

Chemistry:

• CHEM014L KS - Basic Principles of Chemistry
• CHEM015L 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 ).
