Major and Minor Information

The mathematics curriculum is designed to expose students to a wide spectrum of ideas in modern mathematics, to train students in the art of logical reasoning and clear expression, and to provide students with an appreciation of the beauty of the subject and of its vast applicability.

There are eleven required courses for the major (B.A.)
The following six courses are taken by all mathematics majors:

MATH 1700 : Mathematical Modelling
MATH 2001 : Discrete Mathematics
MATH 2004 : Multivariable Calculus I
MATH 2006 : Linear Algebra
MATH 3005 : Abstract Algebra
In addition, each student must take six more courses. Examples are:

MATH 2005, Multivariable Calculus II.
MATH 3001, Linear Algebra II,
MATH 3003, Real Analysis,
MATH 3004, Complex Analysis.
MATH 3006, Probability,
MATH 3007, Statistics.
MATH 4006, Numerical Analysis

A student may receive a B.S. by completing two courses from:
PHYS 1701, 1702, CISC 1600, 1700, 2200, 2240, 2241
 
Minoring in Mathematics
Six courses are required, three of which must be numbered above 2000.  
The courses numbered 1108, 1109, 1203 and 1204 may not be used.

Example: Math Modeling, Calculus I, Calculus II, Multivariate Calculus I, Discrete Mathematics and Differential Equations.

For Students in CBA, four courses beyond the two all CBA students take (MATH 1108 and MATH 1109) are required. The courses selected must be approved by the chair of the Mathematics Department. CBA students minoring in Mathematics are strongly encouraged to take Calculus I and II instead of Math for Business: Calculus
