S/N Grading Option :
Students working for a Bachelor of Science in
mathematics or statistics should take all required
courses in the major and minor areas for letter grades.
Language Study :
The prospective candidate for an advanced degree in
mathematics or statistics should keep in mind that
many graduate programs require a reading knowledge of
one or two foreign languages selected from French,
German, and Russian.

Requirements for Departmental Honors in
Mathematics:
The Department also offers a program for students
pursuing a major in mathematics leading to graduation
with departmental honors in mathematics. This program
is designed for students who are considering graduate
study in mathematics, or a related field which makes
use of mathematics. In order to qualify for
departmental honors in mathematics, a student must:
-

advanced mathematics course (MATH 1800
or 1801 or a graduate level course).
(For students seeking a BPhil
degree from the Honors College, this requirement
could be satisfied by the Honors College
Thesis.) Course credit for thesis work
will normally be awarded as MATH 1902 (Directed
Study).
Although not required, it is highly recommended
that honors degree candidates take the
intermediate honors courses Math 1185, and 0450
during their freshman or sophomore year.
Students interested in the departmental honors
program should consult with the Undergraduate
Director or Department Chairperson as early as
possible, preferably during the freshman or
sophomore year, even if they have not yet
declared their major.
The Department's Undergraduate Committee is
responsible for certifying students who
graduate with departmental honors in
mathematics. The Undergraduate Committee is
empowered to make minor changes in the
requirements based on a student's individual
circumstances.
The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics
The basic major in applied mathematics consists of at
least 40 credits of mathematics and statistics
courses. Since different program emphases are
possible, students should consult with their advisor

Philosophy Requirements: PHIL 0200, and PHIL
0210. (Some other introductory course may be
substituted for one of these with the consent
of the student's advisor.)
-
FIELD COURSES. At least 30 cr. of mathematics and
philosophy courses at the upper level. These will
normally be distributed as follows:
-
Mathematics/Statistics Requirements (15 cr.):
- Advanced Calculus I (MATH 1530);
-
One course each from at least two of the
following groups:
-
Advanced Calculus II (MATH 1540);

Departmental Honors in Mathematics-Philosophy :
The departments of mathematics and philosophy offer a
program leading to graduation with departmental
honors in the joint major. Students seeking
departmental honors will be asked to prepare an oral
presentation on some topic to be selected in
consultation with members of the faculty. Candidates
for departmental honors will be examined by a
committee of three faculty members from the
departments of mathematics and philosophy on their
knowledge of logic and the foundations of
mathematics.
Minor in Mathematics
Students can earn a minor in mathematics by completing at least 15
credits in mathematics courses distributed as follows:
-
At least 9 credits of courses numbered 0250 or higher;
-
At least 6 credits of courses numbered 1000 or hither.
Notes
1. Required courses are listed by their CAS
numbers. Many courses have evening (CGS)
equivalents, which may be substituted. Their CGS
numbers are obtained by adding 7000 to the CAS
number.
2. Highly qualified students may substitute MATH
0450 (Introduction to Analysis) for MATH 0413 and
MATH 0420.
3. MATH 1185 may require instructor approval, and
has MATH 1651 (Computer Methods) as a corequisite.
4. Highly qualified students may substitute MATH
0450 (Introduction to Analysis) for MATH 0413 and
MATH 0420.
5. MATH 1185 requires instructor approval.
6. This requirement will be waived for students
who are dual majors.
7. Highly qualified students may substitute MATH
0450 (Introduction to Analysis) for MATH 0413 and
MATH 0420.
