Applied Mathematics–Biology

Standard program for the Sc.B. degree.

Requirements:

  1. APMA 0350, 0360 (or 0330, 0340), 1650, and another approved 1000-level course.
  2. Four biology courses agreed upon by the student and advisor (see below for some possible areas of emphasis).
  3. MATH 0090 plus 0100 (or 0170); 0180, and 0520 (or an applied algebra course).
  4. CHEM 0330 recommended for some concentrators: organic chemistry and biochemistry.
  5. PHYS 0030, 0040 (or equivalents).
  6. Two additional courses in applied math, biology, chemistry, math, or physics. At least one of these must be a directed research course that reflects the theme of this program (e.g., APMA 1970; BIOL 1950, 1960).

Possible areas of emphasis and suggested courses include:

  1. Biochemistry: BIOL 0280; 1270; and CHEM 0350, 0360.
  2. Cells, tissues, and organs: BIOL 0800 1100; 1180; and/or appropriate bioengineering courses, such as: BIOL 1080; 1090; 1120; 1140.
  3. Neurosciences: NEUR courses; APMA 0410.
  4. Population biology and ecology: BIOL 0420; 0430; 0450; 0480; 1410; 1420; 1430; 1470.
  5. Genetics: BIOL 0470; 1410.
