Students completing the BS degree in Mathematics must have second semester proficiency in a second language.
The BS degree is a science intensive degree and to fulfill the Natural Science General Education requirements, students must complete one of the following sequences of laboratory science courses:
- CHEM 103A & 104A, 103B & 104B
- MCB 181 & 181L, ECOL 182
- PHYS 131, 181, 132, 182
- PHYS 141, 142 (3 units) or 241
- PHYS 151, 152
For the BS degree, students must complete one of the following sequences of physics courses:
- PHYS 131 & 181, 132 & 182
- PHYS 141, 142 (3 units) or 241
- PHYS 151, 152
OR complete six units of course work outside the Mathematics Department, approved by the major advisor, that require MATH 124 or MATH 125 or a higher mathematics course as a corequisite or prerequisite.
Note: A student may satisfy both the Tier I Natural Science courses and the Physics requirement by taking one of the physics sequences.
The Tier 2 general education requirement for natural science is satisfied by the major.
Students planning to go on to graduate study in mathematics or applied mathematics should choose the Comprehensive Option; the option contains the minimum requirements for admission to most graduate programs in these areas. Students selecting this option should consult with a Mathematics Department advisor in choosing additional course work to ensure that they are prepared for the graduate school of their choice. Students in this option need to complete the core courses as well as the following courses listed below.
THE CORE COURSES: Should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.
THE COMPREHENSIVE COURSES
- MATH 413 Linear Algebra
MATH 415A Introduction to Abstract Algebra
MATH 415B Second Course in Abstract Algebra
MATH 424 Elements of Complex Variables
MATH 425A Real Analysis of One Variable
MATH 425B Real Analysis of Several Variables
For complete listing of all degree requirements, see the Academic Program Requirements Report (APRR) in the university catalog.
