2.) In addition, below are the specific perequisites for each program:  
A.) PURE AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Analysis / Advanced Calculus / Linear Algebra / Topology / ODE and Complex Analysis taken at undergraduate level.

B.) COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
In addition to good preparatory Mathematics courses, students are expected to have knowledge of a modern programming language (e.g. Java, C, C++, and Computer Operating Systems).

C.) THEORETICAL PHYSICS
Mathematics knowledge at least equivalent to courses in Calculus, Advanced Calculus (Vector Analysis, Multivariable Calculus), Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. Students are also expected to have taken courses at an intermediate level in Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics.

D.) MATERIALS SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND PETROLEUM ENGINEERING
