| A minor in Applied Mathematics should be attractive to students majoring in a variety of disciplines within the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Business Sciences, and the College of Information Technology. This minor provides formal recognition of the strength and depth of a student’s quantitative knowledge beyond the foundational mathematics requirements of the Colloquy on Integrated Learning. |

Applied mathematics and statistics are subjects which concentrate on the use of mathematical methods and reasoning to solve real-world problems of a scientific or decision-making nature in a wide variety of areas, principally (but not exclusively) engineering and technology; the physical, biological and health sciences; economics, business and the social sciences.
The minor in Applied Mathematics is available to all Zayed University students except those majoring in the B.Sc. in Education (Specialization in Mathematics). To be eligible for enrollment in the minor, a student must have completed at least one semester in an approved major program and have a minimum grade point average of 2.5.
To complete both their major and minor programs within the maximum number of semesters allowed for study at Zayed University, and without having to enroll in an overload course schedule, students intending to enroll in the Applied Mathematics minor should consider commencing the program of study at the beginning of the Sophomore year, i.e. one semester in advance of making the formal registration.
The minor in Applied Mathematics requires a student to study twenty one credit hours of mathematics and statistics courses, with a minimum of nine credit hours at the 300 course level or above:
- Students must take, and pass with a grade of D or higher, the following four required courses (12 Credit Hours),
|
|
- Students must select, and pass with a grade of D or higher, three elective courses (9 Credit Hours) from the following list,
