Requirements for the B. A. Degree in Mathematics

Basic Core Courses (22 hours):

• MAT 126, MAT 127, MAT 228: (Calculus I, II, III) (12 hours)
• MAT 261 : Introduction to Abstract Algebra (3 hours)
• MAT 262 : Linear Algebra (3 hours)
• MAT 434 : Introduction to Statistics (4 hours)

One other abstract mathematics course (3 hours):

This course is to be chosen, with approval of the student's advisor from among MAT 425, MAT 463, MAT 465, MAT 475, MAT 481 or other abstract mathematics courses that are offered at the time.

At least four additonal upper-level courses (12 hours):

These courses should be chosen by the student in consultation with his/her advisor and must form a coherent program of study. The following subdivision of courses into different areas of concentratoin can be used as an aid in designing such a program of study, although the student is not restricted to choose courses from only one of these areas.

• Pure mathematics : MAT 425, MAT 426, MAT 445, MAT 463, MAT 464, MAT465, MAT 465, MAT 471, MAT 475.
• Statistics and probability: MAT 435, MAT 436, MAT 437, MAT 439, MAT 425.
• Discrete applied mathematics : MAT 455, MAT 456, MAT 457, MAT 463, MAT 465, MAT 481.
• Continuous applied mathematics : MAT 259, MAT 451, MAT 452, MAT 453, MAT 457, MAT 471, MAT 487.
• Mathematics education : MAT 305, MAT 445, MAT 463, MAT 465, MAT 475, MAT 481.

A senior-level "capstone" course : MAT 475 in 1997-98.

Other requirements:

• Introduction to Computer Science : COS 220 (3 hours)
• Junior English proficiency examination :

In addition to the requirements listed above, students must either complete an 18 hour concentration or two 12-hour concentrations of approved courses outside of mathematics. These courses should complement the student's mathematics-statistics area of concentration.
