IBM’s Quantum Computer Programming: Hands-On Workshop (Asynchronous)
Practical Quantum Programming
100% online course
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to quantum computing, starting from the basics and progressing to advanced algorithm design and implementation. No prior knowledge of quantum computing or quantum physics is required, though familiarity with matrix-vector multiplication is expected. The course will guide you through the mathematics of quantum computing, the creation of quantum gates and circuits, and the implementation of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) on IBM's quantum computers. Cost $24.00. A certificate is earned and awarded. Learn More

More Undergraduate and Graduate Student Opportunities
____________________________________
This program is designed to provide a foundation for mathematical work and application of mathematics in scientific or technical fields and industry. It should normally take a full-time student two years to complete. Five concentrations are offered: pure mathematics, applied analysis, biostatistics, cryptology, and information security, and financial mathematics. Students can enter an accelearated joint-graduate program in mathematics and electrical engineering, leading to an M.S. degree in mathematics and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. See graduate level advisors for details.
In addition to meeting the University graduate admission requirements (including a score of at least 155 on the quantitative reasoning section of the GRE), applicants must have a bachelor's degree in mathematics or coursework that includes the equivalent of Introduction to Advanced Mathematics, Modern Algebra, and Probability and Statistics 1, as well as computer competency. Applicants who do not meet all of the requirements will still be considered for conditional admission.
A Bachelor's degree in Mathematics (or equivalent coursework) with at least 3.0 GPA (or equivalent), three letters of recommendation documenting the applicant's prior work in mathematics focusing on preparation and suitability for success in graduate-level mathematics courses, a quantitative general GRE (revised) score of at least 155, and approval of the departmental graduate committee. In addition, it is recommended to include scores of the GRE subject test mathematics as part of the application package.
If your undergraduate major is not in Mathematics, see our Frequently Asked Questions page for a list of required prerequisite coursework.

To complete the M.S. degree in Mathematics, the candidate must complete at least 30 credits of graduate coursework and satisfy the following criteria in addition to University requirements:
To complete the M.S. degree in Mathematics, the candidate must complete at least 30 credit hours of graduate course work, and satisfy the following criteria in addition to University requirements:
1. Earn at least 24 credits in courses specified in a degree concentration, pre-approved by the graduate advisor in mathematics, at least 15 credits of all credits applied to the degree must be at the 6000-level.
2. If pre-approved by the department graduate committee, up to 12 credits of FAU coursework from outside of the Department of Mathematical Sciences may count toward the degree.
3. Complete one of the following three capstone options below.
