In addition to meeting the requirements of the University and the College of Natural Science, the student must complete a total of 30 credits for the degree below. The student’s program of study must be approved by the student’s academic advisor, including:
MTH 843 Survey of Industrial Mathematics (Fall semester)
This is one of the industrial mathematics core courses. The course has three objectives:
- To survey mathematics of particular importance to industry
- To gain experience in team project report generation
- To gain experience in oral presentation of project results
The topics covered in this course are listed below (See Table of Content of the textbook,
A Survey of Industrial Mathematics by Charles R. MacCluer, Dover Publications, Inc., 2010.).
- Statistical Reasoning
- Monte Carlo Method
- Data Acquisition and Manipulation
- The Discrete Fourier Transform
- Linear Programming.
- Regression
- Cost-Benefit Analysis
- Microeconomics
- Ordinary Differential Equations.
- Frequency-Domain Methods
- Partial Differential Equations.
- Divided Differences
- Galerkin's Method
- Splines
- Report Writing
The last chapter “Report Writing” is the guideline to generate technical reports
for your projects and write memos for your computer exercise homework. MTH 843 is
designed to train the MSIM students with emphasis on technical writing and to prepare
students for MTH 844 (Project in Industrial Mathematics) in spring.
MTH 844 Projects in Industrial Mathematics (Spring
semester)
As an essential pillar of the program, this industrial mathematics core course requires
students to spend the spring semester working on real-world problems, solicited from
local industries and governments etc. We have a history of nearly 100 successfully completed
projects proposed by local companies such as Auto-Owners, Chrysler, Consumers Energy,
Dow, Ford, General Motor, Herman Miller, Johnson Control, Pfizer, Steelcase, and many
smaller firms; click here for a complete list of the descriptions and final reports of
completed projects.
The outline of the course is as follows:
- Team of 3 graduates with undergraduates’ assistance works together for one semester
- Team chooses a significant project proposed by local industry
- Team is advised by one faculty manager in the department and one industrial liaison from the company
- Team prepares a formal written technical report of their results
- Team delivers the project report and PowerPoint presentation at industry site in the end of semester
Certificate in Project Management
This requires completion of PHM 857 Project Management, covering such topics as
formal project management culture, principles, knowledge areas, and terminology.
It will normally be undertaken during the first year of enrollment as a “not-for-credit”
option. Certification will also require participation in Industrial Mathematics-specific
discussion sessions. After completion of the certificate program is approved by the
instructors, the Industrial Mathematics Program, and the Associate Dean of the College
of Natural Science, the Office of the Registrar will enter the certificate on the
student’s academic record along with the term in which it was completed.
