First Year Classes

This is a suggested course list for first year students but of course is just a suggestion. Please talk to an advisor if you have any questions about any classes, especially pertaining to requirements for the program.

Autumn	Winter	Spring
Ph.D. 567- Complex Variables 584- Applied Linear Algebra and Introductory Numerical Analysis Masters 567 (401)- Complex Variables 584- Applied Linear Algebra and Introductory Numerical Analysis	568- Advanced Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations 585- Numerical Analysis of Boundary Value Problems 515(507)- Optimization (2007-2008:replace with Math 582G) 568 (402)- Advanced Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations 515(507)- Optimization (2007-2008:replace with Math 582G)	569- Advanced Methods for Partial Differential Equations 586- Numerical Analysis of Time Dependent Problems 506- Statistics 569 (403)- Advanced Methods for Partial Differential Equations 506- Statistics

Courses in parenthesis are optional alternatives.

Note that the main difference between the Ph.D. course work and the Masters course work is not having to take the numerical sequence and the possibility of substituting in the 400 level courses which are taught to advanced undergraduate students.

Additional requirements for both tracks include:

2 Credits of amath seminar, each quarter counts for 1 credit. You should sign up for this anyway as you should attend in any case.
2 credits of a journal club, see link for the current journal clubs.
2 application courses, i.e. fluid dynamics, mathematical biology, etc...

The application courses are prefered to be in the same field, one building on the other (i.e. fluid dynamics and geophysical fluid dynamics). If you have any questions about a particular applications course, see Prof. O'Malley.
