Administered By: Department of Mathematical Sciences, Cullimore Hall, Room 606 The undergraduate program in Mathematical Sciences with an option in Mathematical Biology prepares students for modeling, computational, and analytical work in industry or government, for graduate study in mathematics or a related field, or for various professional schools. NJIT's Department of Mathematical Sciences is one of the few departments in North America with such a strong program in Mathematical Biology. There are ten active researchers in Mathematical Biology, including seven in Computational Neuroscience. Majors: The undergraduate curriculum provides students with training in a broad range of mathematical techniques and problem solving strategies. Many of the courses in this program emphasize the techniques required to formulate physical, biological, and industrial phenomena as mathematical models and to solve the resulting mathematical problems by using computational and analytical techniques. Senior "capstone" courses provide an opportunity for students to synthesize the knowledge gained during their undergraduate experience by combining mathematical modeling with physical and computational experiments conducted in the Undergraduate Mathematics Computing Laboratory. Double Majors: Students may earn a second major in addition to their primary major in Mathematical Sciences with a specialization in Applied Mathematics. The most popular double major with the Mathematical Sciences major – specialization of Mathematical Biology is the Biology (B.S.) major. Completion is usually feasible within four years of full-time study. Contact the Department of Mathematical Sciences for a list of appropriate courses to complete a double major with the major in Mathematical Sciences - specialization in Mathematical Biology. For general rules about double majors, see Degree Options in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this catalog. Contact the Department of Mathematical Sciences for a list of appropriate courses to complete a double major with the major in Mathematical Sciences with an option in Mathematical Biology. For general rules about double majors, see Degree Options in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this catalog. Curriculum: The curriculum described below is for students who entered NJIT in the Fall of 2002 or later. Students who entered NJIT before that date have been moved into this new program and should consult their faculty advisor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences if they have any questions regarding this new curriculum.

FIRST YEAR:
1st Semester (15 credits):This curriculum represents the maximum number of credits per semester for which a student is advised to register. A full-time credit load is 12 credits. First-year students are placed in a curriculum that positions them for success which may result in additional time needed to complete curriculum requirements. Continuing students should consult with their academic advisor to determine the appropriate credit load.
