Applied Mathematics 1 Applied Mathematics General Guidelines 1. All courses taken to fulfill the major requirements below must be taken for graded credit, other than courses listed which are offered Bachelor of Arts (BA) on a Pass/No Pass basis only. Exceptions will be made for major The Department of Mathematics offers an undergraduate major in courses taken in Spring 2020. Other exceptions to this requirement Applied Mathematics leading to the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. The are noted as applicable. program provides an excellent preparation for advanced degrees in math, 2. No more than one upper division course may be used to physical sciences, economics, and industrial engineering, as well as simultaneously fulfill requirements for a student's major and minor graduate study in business, education, law, and medicine. The program programs, with the exception of minors offered outside of the College also prepares students for postbaccalaureate positions in business, of Letters & Science. technology, industry, teaching, government, and finance. 3. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 must be maintained in both upper and lower division courses used to fulfill the major The Applied Math program provides students the opportunity to requirements. customize their learning by selecting a cluster pathway. A cluster is an approved concentration of courses in a specific field of applied For information regarding residency requirements and unit requirements, mathematics. There are more than 15 approved clusters with the most please see the College Requirements tab. popular being: Lower Division Requirements (5 courses) • Actuarial Sciences MATH 1A Calculus 4 • Computer Sciences or MATH N1A Calculus • Economics MATH 1B Calculus 4 • Statistics or MATH N1B Calculus More information on approved clusters can be found here (https:// MATH 53 Multivariable Calculus 4 math.berkeley.edu/programs/undergraduate/major/applied/). or MATH N53 Multivariable Calculus Admission to the Major MATH W53 Multivariable Calculus [4] MATH 54 Linear Algebra and Differential Equations 1 4 Students should contact a mathematics undergraduate advisor. or MATH N54 Linear Algebra and Differential Equations Contact information is available on the contact tab or here.

Courses in other Mathematics (http://guide.berkeley.edu/undergraduate/degree-programs/ departments may count toward this requirement provided they mathematics/) (Major and Minor) have substantial mathematical content at an appropriately advanced level and are taken for at least three units. In addition to the University, campus, and college requirements, listed For sample clusters, please see the department's website. on the College Requirements tab, students must fulfill the below requirements specific to their major program. 2 Applied Mathematics Undergraduate students must fulfill the following requirements in addition and composition courses by the end of their second semester and a to those required by their major program. second-level course by the end of their fourth semester.
