Elective Page


The requirements for the Minor includes an elective chosen from a list of approved options. Emphasis is placed on courses available outside the student's major, including additional courses in mathematics, computer science, econometrics, the natural sciences, and quantitative methods. This course may be taken concurrently with any other required courses.

 Current and projected offerings that may be used to satisfy this requirement include:

CS 327 Algorithms for Computational Scientists
CH 588 Computational Biochemistry
CH 672 Quantum Mechanics and Spectroscopy
MT 414 Numerical Analysis
MT 427 Mathematical Statistics
MT 435-436 Mathematical Programming
MT 470 Mathematical Modeling
EC 313 Computational Economics
EC 367 Financial Engineering
MC 644 Scientific Computation
MD 605 Simulation Methods
PH 301 Vibrations and Waves
PH 303 Introduction to Modern Physics
PH 401 Classical Mechanics

 Planned offerings (e.g. financial engineering) in the Finance department would also be appropriate.
