Minoring in Mathematics
requirements and recommended electives
Program Requirements
Students minoring in mathematics must fulfill these requirements:
| 1. Three (3) required courses |
- MT101 Calculus II, or MT103 Calculus II (Math/Science Majors), or MT105 Calculus II-AP (Math/Science Majors)
- MT202 Multivariable Calculus
- MT210 Linear Algebra
|
| 2. Three (3) elective courses, chosen from among |
- MT216 Introduction to Abstract Mathematics
- MT226 Probability for Bioinformatics
- MT245 Discrete Mathematics (MC248 may substitute)
- MT305 Advanced Calculus (Science majors)
- MT310 Introduction to Abstract Algebra
- MT320 Introduction to Analysis
- any MT major course numbered 400 or higher
|
AP credit cannot be used to satisfy requirements for the minor. Well-prepared students may (and in many cases, should) omit some of the required Calculus courses, upon recommendation of the Assistant Chair for Undergraduate Programs. However, students placing out of one or more required courses are required to substitute MT electives for each course omitted. A minimum of six (6) courses is required to complete the minor in all cases.
Recommended Electives for Minors
Certain courses in Mathematics are particularly well-suited for students in other, mathematics-related majors.
