* The purpose of concentration electives is to allow students, with the assistance of their advisor, to take advantage of the many state-of-the-art courses available at the University: science, information technology, engineering, decision science, actuarial science, operations research, mathematical biology, bioinformatics, economics, computer science, etc. A student may take a maximum of 15 credits of math courses (92 prefix) as concentration electives. 92.283 and 92.363 cannot be used as math electives.

**Electives may be chosen from any courses from the University. However, no more than 60 mathematics credits (beyond 92.120 and 92.123) can be counted toward graduation. All mathematics courses have prefix 92.

# Analysis requirements: One basic analysis course (92.305, 92.411, 92.501, 92.503) and one additional analysis course not used to fulfill another requirement (92.301, 92.305, 92.306, 92.322, 92.362, 92.411, 92.412, 92.413, 92.420, 92.421, 92.442, 92.450).

## Students may receive credit for both 92.385 and 92.386.

Many 500-level mathematics courses are within the grasp of upper level undergraduate students. Refer to the day school schedule of classes for graduate course listings. Many graduate courses are offered in the late afternoon/early evening time frame.

Note: Student who officially applied and were accepted into this program prior to September 2005 may follow the previous curriculum outline for this program.
