This suggested sequence is provided as a guide according to which a student in
either the S.M. program or the Ph.D. program can complete the basic mandatory
courses within two years. Various constraints on possible course sequences are
imposed by prerequisites for some courses and by the quarters in which courses
are offered by other departments.
