Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation

Courses taken by AMSC Students

AMSC offers a spectrum of courses at the forefront of computation and applications. In addition to AMSC courses, graduate students can choose from the many courses offered by other graduate programs. Below are links to the Graduate Catalog Descriptions for most of those programs in which AMSC students have commonly taken courses.

Before choosing classes check with the preliminary requirements in your respective program.

Contact the corresponding graduate programs to see that the courses you wish to take will be offered during the semester you wish to take them, before including them in your Study Advisory Plan.

Research Interaction Teams

Research Interaction Teams (RIT's) formalize what heretofore had been informal research groups. They provide the framework around which many of our vertically activities are built because they involve graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty in a variety of ways. They provide a natural environment in which team members will mentor more junior team members, and be mentored by more senior ones. They also provide a forum in which communication skills are developed. Most RIT's involve more than one faculty member.

Mini Courses

A series of about 16 three-lecture mini-courses is given each year that is designed to introduce first-year students to the broad range of research and mentoring activities available to them. Most mini-courses will serve as advertisements for one or more related RIT's. First-year students are required to attend at least four of these courses to get one credit.
