Or any nuclear physics course.
Right. Exactly the courses that are taken by nuclear engineering students.

My younger son has a B.S. in math. He and my elder son, a nuclear engineer, compared their math courses once. The only difference was a course in linear algebra that my younger son had taken. My elder son took it in graduate school. Credit wise, my elder son had enough math credits for a major. He also had enough credits to opt for a degree in nuclear physics. Nuclear engineering is a 5 year degree, heavy on math and nuclear physics, as well as some standard mech eng courses. My younger son, not to be out done, earned two bachelors degrees in 5 years.
