Introduction

The Certificate in Computational Mathematics ("CCM") is within our program of Master of Science in Applied Mathematics, and has been offered since 2001. A student who meets the requirements of the "CCM" will receive a certificate in addition to the Master's degree.

Students who might benefit from the program are individuals who are either currently employed in a Houston area industry (oil, computer software, etc.) and are seeking a terminal professional degree to enhance their skills, or current students who are in other scientific graduate programs and wish to strengthen their future resumes by the addition of this advanced degree.

Admissions Requirement

A student who wants to apply for the "CCM" program should be admitted into our Master of Science in Applied Mathematics program.

Certificate Requirements

To receive a certificate, a student must take courses satisfying the following requirements:

• Successful completion (B- or higher) of:
  MATH 6370;6371: Numerical Analysis
  MATH 6378: Basic Scientific Computing

• Successful completion (B- or higher) of at least 9 credit hours of courses selected from:
