New Mathematical Biology Major
Capitalizing on our department's strength in Mathematical Biology, we have established a new Mathematical Biology major! This major will help students prepare for a career or advanced studies in quantitative biology, including biotechnology and medical fields. The major includes two new courses, Mathematical Biology (Math 1380) and Computational Neuroscience (Math 1370), taught by renowned faculty experts in these areas (Math 1380 also counts as an elective towards fulfillment of Mathematics major degree requirements). Other requirements are similar to the Applied Mathematics major, but with biology (and optionally neuroscience) courses replacing physics and computer science.
