COMPUTER SCIENCE OPTION
1998-1999
This option is meant for those students interested in applications of computers to mathematical problems, including most math majors who plan to go to graduate school in Computer Science. A minor in Computer Science is required with this option. See your academic advisor for course work in the minor.

*Note that any acceptable minor in Computer Science will necessarily include Math 243, since it is a prerequisite for nearly all advanced Computer Science classes.

THE CORE COURSES: Should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.
CSC 127A  Computer Science Principles

MATH 124 or Math 125   Calculus I

MATH 129 (formerly 125B)  Calculus II

MATH 215  Introduction to Linear Algebra

MATH 223  Vector Calculus

MATH 355  Analysis of Ordinary Differential Equations

MATH 323  Formal Mathematical Reasoning
           and Writing (Writing-Emphasis Course)*

*This course is the foundation for the advanced courses taken by any math major. It should be taken as soon as possible and before most of the 400-level courses in the major. Students who do not earn at least a C in MATH 323 should reconsider their choice of major.

One of the following two sequences:
MATH 415A  Introduction to Abstract Algebra
and
MATH 415B  Second Course in Abstract Algebra

or

MATH 475A  Mathematical Principles of Numerical Analysis
and
MATH 475B  Mathematical Principles of Numerical Analysis

Two of the following four courses:
MATH 413  Linear Algebra

MATH 443  Theory of Graphs and Networks

MATH 447  Combinatorial Mathematics

MATH 479  Game Theory and Mathematical Programming

And a fifth 400-level course, chosen in consultation with your faculty advisor.

For complete listing of all degree requirements, see the Academic Program Requirements Report (APRR) in the university catalog.
