Mathematics minor
(for Bachelor of Science degree students)

This section specifies the mathematics minor discipline requirements only. Students need to combine these minor requirements with another science minor or major other than the mathematics major or mathematics minor (statistics option). Please refer to the Bachelor of Science section for information on additional requirements.

Lower-level requirements: 35–39credits

Course Title Credits
MATH 111 Calculus I 4
MATH 112 Calculus II 4
 or MATH 118 Calculus II for Life Sciences
 
MATH 211 Calculus III 3
MATH 221 Linear Algebra 3
MATH 265 Transition to Advanced Mathematics (see Note 1) 3
COMP 152 Introduction to Structured Programming (see Note 2) 4
MATH Two additional 200-level MATH courses (excluding
 MATH 205)
6-8
One pair of courses from the following sequences:
CHEM 111 Principles of Chemistry I (previously offered) 4
 and CHEM 112 Principles of Chemistry II (previously offered) 4
or    
CHEM 113 Principles of Chemistry I 5
 and CHEM 114 Principles of Chemistry II 5
or    
PHYS 111 Mechanics 5
 and PHYS 112 Electricity and Magnetism 5
or    
BIO 111 Introductory Biology I 5
 and BIO 112 Introductory Biology II 5

Note 1: Students who have successfully completed MATH 214 prior to January 2007 may use this course in place of MATH 265.

Note 2: Students who have successfully completed COMP 150, COMP 155, MATH 235, or PHYS 484 prior to September 2006 may use this course in place of COMP 152.

Upper-level requirements: 15 credits

Course Title Credits
MATH Any MATH courses numbered 308 or higher 15

Students may use PHYS 381 as part of the fifteen upper-level credits; however, PHYS 381 cannot be used to satisfy requirements of a math program as well as requirements of a physics program.

Mathematics minor (Statistics option)
