Major Sequence in Mathematics:

A minimum of ten course units in mathematics to include:

1) One of the calculus sequences (i), (ii), or (iii).

2) Math 200 and 215. Students are strongly recommended to take Math 200 in either their freshman or sophomore year. However, students should consult with a mathematics advisor in order to determine the best time for them to take Math 200. Both Math 200 and Math 215 should be completed by the end of the second year.

And a minimum of six courses that satisfy the following requirements:

3) two courses selected from Math 405, 410, 415, 425, 440, or 489.

4) four additional electives selected from Math 240, 300, 307, 310, 311, 324, 325, 330, 351, 360, 405, 410, 415, 425, 440, or approved 389/489.

5) Students must take at least one 400-level mathematics course in their senior year. Students are allowed to take more than two 400-level courses. Students must take CS 135 or its equivalent as approved by the Head of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.

Minor Sequence in Mathematics:

A minimum of six course units in mathematics to include:

1) Math 155 and Math 156, or Math 161 and Math 162, or Math 165 and Math 166.

2) One of: Math/CS 135,Math 157, or Math 163.

3) three courses selected from those numbered 200 or above, to include at least two numbered 300 or above, but excluding Math 397.

Math 105, 106, 110, 397, 495, and 499 will not count towards the Mathematics major or minor. Math 235 will not count towards the Mathematics major. Credit will not be allowed for both Math 151 and 165, 161 and 165, 161 and 155, etc. Moreover, credit will not be allowed for any course that is taken after the successful completion of another course for which the first course was a prerequisite.

Mathematics majors and minors who desire secondary certificates and/or middle school and area teaching endorsements should apply to the Teacher Education Program as early as possible in their academic careers. Those students should also refer to the Educational Studies curriculum description in this Catalog and the Teacher Education Handbook for further information.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science maintains five computer labs. A Mathematics Learning Center (MLC) is also maintained throughout the academic year. It is staffed with student assistants under faculty supervision and is open to students enrolled in most first-year courses.
