BS in Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics offers the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. Students who plan to attend graduate school in mathematics or the sciences should consider working toward the B.S. degree. Bachelor of Science Degree (B.S.) Prerequisites: Mathematics 21 or 111L or an equivalent course; Mathematics 22 or 112L or 122 or 122L or an equivalent course; Mathematics 212 or 222 or equivalent courses2 ; Mathematics 2211 . (Many upper level mathematics courses assume programming experience at the level of Computer Science 94(4). Students without computer experience are encouraged to take Computer Science 101(6).) Major Requirements: Eight courses in mathematics numbered 230 or above including: Mathematics 401 or 501; Mathematics 431 or 531; and one of Mathematics 333, 342, 411, 412, 421, 502, 532, 541, 581. There is also a Physics requirement. It may be met by receiving Advanced Placement credit for Physics 25 and 26; or by completing Physics 141L(53L) and 142L(54L), Physics 151L(61L) and 152L(62L), or Physics 161L and 162L(42L); or by completing a program of Physics courses approved by the director of undergraduate studies3 .
