Mathematics, B.S.

Major Field of Concentration

The major in mathematics requires the following specific courses:

Upper Division Requirements:

Beyond these required courses, the student will complete additional courses from the following list to total at least 18 upper-division hours of mathematics beyond the calculus sequence:

• MT 3000 - Topics in Mathematics (1–3)
• MT 3260 - Mathematical Modeling (3)
• MT 3400 - Probability and Statistics I (3)
• MT 3410 - Probability and Statistics II (3)
• MT 3530 - Numerical Methods (3)
• MT 3550 - Number Theory (3)
• MT 3600 - Modern Geometry (3)
• MT 3700 - Differential Equations (3)
• MT 4000 - Advanced Topics in Mathematics (1–3)
• MT 4350 - Introduction to Topology (3)
• MT 4900 - Abstract Algebra (3)
• MT 4920 - Real Analysis (3)
• MT 4930 - Complex Analysis (3)

Students must also satisfy:

Students must also satisfy an experiential learning requirement. This requirement can be satisfied in one of two ways: (1) by completing an off-campus internship/work experience (in an approved, mathematically related field) together with at least one credit hour of the Career Services course, CP 3910 - Co-op Work Projects I , or (2) by completing an undergraduate research project (with a mathematics faculty advisor) together with the one credit hour course, MT 3990 - Introductory Research Projects . All students will present the results of their experiential learning project in the one-credit-hour mathematics seminar, MT 4960 . (In either case, these two additional credit hours for experiential learning do not count toward a student’s 18 upper-division credit hours in mathematics.) Students must also complete 12 upper-division hours in a related area or areas. Students should consult with their mathematics faculty advisor in selecting courses and in planning their experiential learning project as soon as they declare a major. A grade of C or better is required in each upper-division course counted toward fulfillment of the major requirements. (A grade of C- will not satisfy this requirement.)
