The Master of Science in Computational Mathematics emphasizes numerical and computer methods which have become very significant in the solution of computer intensive scientific problems, including large scale problems. The primary objective of the program is to prepare students in the development and implementation of critical computational techniques from inception to algorithm to software.

Admission Requirements

In addition to the general requirements of The Graduate College, the entering student will be expected to have two years of calculus, including multivariate calculus and differential equations, courses in linear algebra, modern algebra, probability, advanced calculus, numerical analysis, a knowledge of the programming languages FORTRAN and Pascal, and a course in data structures. The courses at WMU which satisfy the admission requirements are: MATH 1220, 1230, 1700, 1710, 2720, (2300 and 2740) or 3740, 3300, 5070, 5700, (STAT 3620 or 5600), and CS 1110, 1120, (2010 or 3060), (alternately CS 3310 recommended).

A promising student may be admitted with some deficiencies in these admission requirements. The missing work would then become an extra program requirement.
