For All Applicants 

Successful applicants are generally expected to have completed the Calculus sequence, an introductory computer programming language course (featuring C, C++, Java, Python, or Matlab), and the following mathematics courses: Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics and either Advanced Calculus/Mathematical Analysis or Introduction to Proofs. Completion of advanced mathematical coursework in Partial Differential Equations, Complex Analysis, Mathematical Modeling, Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Statistics, Numerical Analysis or Scientific Computing is also preferred. As the graduate program is quite interdisciplinary, however, AMS also encourages applicants from other backgrounds including students with undergraduate degrees in Physics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Biology and Chemical Engineering, among others.
