A total of
53
credits is required for the mathematics major. The following are required courses:
21:640:135 Calculus I (4) or 21:640:155 Honors Calculus I (4)
21:640:136 Calculus II (4) or 21:640:156 Honors Calculus II (4)
21:640:235 Calculus III (4)
21:640:238 Foundations of Modern Mathematics (3)
21:640:311 Advanced Calculus I (3)
21:640:312 Advanced Calculus II (3)
21:640:314 Elementary Differential Equations (3)
21:640:350 Linear Algebra (3)
21:640:491 or 492 Mathematics Seminar (3,3)
In addition, 12 elective credits are required in mathematics courses at the 300 or 400 level. 21:730:432 is also a valid elective for the mathematics major. Six of these credits must consist of proof-based courses such as:
21:640:403,432,435,436,441,442,451,452,456 or 21:730:432
The following courses also are required:
21:198:101 Computers and Programming I (3)
21:750:213
University Physics I (4)
21:750:214 University Physics II (4)
The
required courses 21:640:238 and 21:640:491/492 are writing intensive,
and together satisfy the writing requirement for mathematics
majors.
Here is a prerequisite flow chart for required courses in the mathematics major.
Mathematics majors should take 21:640:238 immediately after completing 21:640:136/156.
