Quantitative Analysis and Operations Research: Programs of Study

The following sample programs are provided as a guide in course selection. However, students are strongly encouraged to consult with a faculty advisor in planning their programs.

 Mathematics:

 One of the first-year calculus sequences:
MAT 150-1-2 Calculus I, II, III;
or MAT 160-1-2 Calculus for Mathematics and Science Majors I, II, III;
or MAT 147-8-9 Calculus with Integrated Precalculus I, II, III;
or MAT 170-1-2 ProMath Calculus for Mathematics and Science Majors I, II, III
(Prerequisite or corequisite for 150, 160, and 170: MAT 131 or placement by the Mathematics Diagnostic Test. Prerequisite for 147: MAT 130 or placement by the Mathematics Diagnostic Test.)

Note: The 160-1-2, 147-8-9, and 170-1-2 sequences are only offered beginning in the autumn quarter of each year. These sequences are highly recommended for students concentrating in mathematics.

Note: MAT 260-261 is only offered in the autumn and winter quarters.
  MAT 262 Linear Algebra (prerequisite: MAT 260)

Note: MAT 262 is only offered in the spring quarter.
  MAT 351-2-3 Probability and Statistics I, II, and III (prerequisite: MAT 261)

Note: The 351-2-3 sequence may only be started in the autumn quarter.
  MAT 387 Operations Research I: Linear Programming I (prerequisite: MAT 262 or 220 and any computer programming course)
  388 Operations Research II: Optimization Theory (prerequisite: MAT 387 or instructor's consent)
