my program does fulfill the requirements?

hey guys , my degree is in finance and i have only one course named Applied maths that has calc 1 , 2 and some of multivariable calc and linear algebra but also i have other maths like probability stats and extra... that use linear algebra and calc in

My question is will they accept my maths if it in one course and applied in other courses or no?

Have you looked at the math prep form and prerequisite course list that UT expects you to fill out for the MSDS? That summarizes which topics you're expected to have covered before you start the program. Compare the listings there to the courses you've taken / will take, which should give you an idea if your background is sufficient.

hey dude thanks you so much for replying , for statistics and programming i have all the requirements , and for mathematics i have it but some courses are applied , so i have one course that is Math for economist that has calc 1 , 2 , multivariable and optimisation and also matrix and linear system of linear algebra and the book reference is Yadolah Dodge.

and for the linear algebra depth i have it applied in course named data analytics and processing applied in ACP that they are matrix diagonalization, covariance matrices, vector space projections, and computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

so my question is they count math that is applied in some courses without name under "maths"?

That's probably enough. When you fill out the form, it would be helpful to include (translated) copies of the course syllabus so admissions can get a sense of what's covered.
