The Department of Mathematical Science offers minor programs in mathematics and statistics:
Mathematics
A minor in mathematics consists of a minimum of 18 credits of work with grades of C or better. At least 6 credits must be at the 300 level or above, and at least 3 additional credits must be at the 200 level or above. The three required courses are: Calculus I (640:121), Calculus II (640:122), and Introduction to Linear Algebra (640:250) or Linear Algebra with Applications (640:253). The following courses are recommended: Calculus III (640:221), Elementary Differential Equations (640:314), Mathematical Reasoning with Proofs (640:300), and Probability and Stochastic Processes (640:331).
Statistics
A minor in statistics consists of a minimum of 18 credits of work with grades of C or better, with at least four courses in statistics. At least 6 credits must be at the 300 level or above, and at least 3 additional credits must be at the 200 level or above. Two math courses are required: Calculus I (640:121) or Calculus for Business (640:118) and Introduction to Linear Algebra (640:250) or Linear Algebra with Applications (640:253). The following statistics courses are recommended: Introduction to Data Science (960:185), Introduction to Statistics I (960:283), Introduction to Statistics II (960:284), Probability and Stochastic Processes (640:331), Mathematical Statistics (960:481), and Statistical Models (960:489). This program is for students with an interest in mathematics and computer science and in the overlapping disciplines of biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics.
