| 6.006 Introduction to Algorithms, 12; 6.01, 18.062J | |
| One subject from each of the following three groups: 18.062J Mathematics for Computer Science, 12, REST; Calculus I (GIR) 18.310A Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics, 12; Calculus II (GIR); 18.310 Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics, 15; CI-M; Calculus II (GIR) |
|
18.400J Automata, Computability, and Complexity, 12; 18.062J 18.404J Theory of Computation,(2) 12; 18.062J* |
|
6.005 Elements of Software Construction, 12; 6.01, 18.062J* 6.033 Computer System Engineering, 12; 6.004 |
|
| Restricted Electives | 60-63 |
| Four additional 12-unit subjects from Course 18 and one additional subject of at least 12 units from Course 6. The Course 6 subject may be 6.02, 6.041, 6.17x, a Foundation or Header subject, or, with the permission of the Department of Mathematics, an advanced Course 6 subject. The overall program must consist of subjects of essentially different content, and must include at least five Course 18 subjects with a first decimal digit of 1 or higher. | |
| To satisfy the requirements that students take two CI-M subjects, students must
take two of the following subjects:
18.104,
18.304,
18.384,
18.424,
18.434,
18.504,
18.704,
18.784,
18.821,
18.904, or
18.994 or one from the above list and one of the following subjects: 6.033, 8.06, 14.33, 18.100C, or 18.310. |
|
| Departmental Program Units That Also Satisfy the GIRs | (24) |
| Unrestricted Electives | 48 |
| Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree | 180–186 |
| No subject can be counted both as part of the 17-subject GIRs and as part of the 180 units required beyond the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental program will count toward one or the other, but not both. | |
| Notes | |
| *Alternate prerequisites and corequisites are listed in the subject description. | |
| (1) Students may substitute the more advanced subject 18.701 Algebra 1. | |
| (2) Recommended alternative. | |
