This page contains the requirements for the mathematics major and minor and for the joint major in mathematics and computer science for students who declared their major before the Fall 2005 semester.  (Note: These students may also choose to satisfy the current requirements. Consult your advisor for more details.)

Requirements for the Mathematics Major for students who declared their major prior to Fall 2005:
All students majoring in Mathematics must complete the following schedule of courses.  

MATH 7 & MATH 8 (or Math 16)
MATH 17
MATH 103 Linear Algebra
MATH 104 Differential Equations
MATH 116 Foundations of Discrete Mathematics*
MATH 127 Real and Complex Analysis I
MATH 171 Seminar in Mathematics
One upper level elective

Students must select one of the following two options:

GENERAL MATHEMATICS OPTION:
Math 144 Abstract Algebra
Math 128 Real and Complex Analysis II

APPLIED MATHEMATICS OPTION:
CSCI 6 and 9 Introduction to Computer Science
Two of the following four courses:
       Math 125 Mathematical Physics
