Three additional mathematics courses numbered 300
or higher.
With prior approval of the Mathematics Department, two of
these may be courses having significant mathematical content from other
departments.
A computational course: One of
- CS - 110 Introduction to Computer Science I
- PHYS - 301 Computational Physics
Completion of the Core Curriculum.
Please note the following recommendations:
- The department strongly recommends taking Physics
110-210.
- Math majors whose native language is English must
complete a foreign language requirement, either by completing the second
semester of a foreign language course or by achieving a passing score
on a language placement test.
- Note that 128 credits are required for graduation.
Learning Goals/Outcomes for the B.S. in
Mathematics
Students will be able to:
- think logically and analyze information critically in
a mathematical setting.
- reformulate and solve problems in an abstract
framework.
- express mathematical results verbally, working
individually and in collaborative groups.
- use appropriate technology to facilitate an
understanding of mathematical concepts, but without substituting
technology for mathematical thought.
Mathematics
Honors Major
Requirements
A Mathematics Honors Major must satisfy all the requirements
for a Mathematics Major. She or he must also satisfy the following
requirements:
- Two (2) additional upper division courses, including
at least one 400-level course, and
- PHYS - 110 General Physics I
- PHYS - 210 General Physics II
