Majors are encouraged to consult the department's Undergraduate Advisor before every semester. The Undergraduate Advisor will recommend electives which are appropriate for the student's interests and goals.

Majors are encouraged to consider the Honors Program and the Accelerated BA/MA Program.

1. Mathematics Requirement (Min. 45 cr. hrs.)

Core Requirement. Majors must complete the following five courses (20 cr. hrs.):

• MAC 2311 -- Calculus I (4)
• MAC 2312 -- Calculus II (4)
• MAC 2313 -- Calculus III (4)
• MAS 3105 -- Linear Algebra (4)
• MGF 3301 -- Bridge to Abstract Mathematics (4)

• MAA 4211 -- Intermediate Analysis (4)
• MAS 4156 -- Vector Calculus (4)

Elective Requirement. Majors must complete seven (7) courses from the following electives (Min. 21 cr. hrs.):

• COP 4313 -- Symbolic Computations in Mathematics (3)
• MAA 4211 -- Intermediate Analysis (4)
• MAA 4212 -- Introduction to Real Analysis (3)
• MAA 4402 -- Complex Variables (3)
• MAD 4401 -- Numerical Analysis (3)
• MAD 4504 -- Theory of Computation (3)
• MAD 5305 -- Introduction to Graph Theory (3)
• MAP 2302 -- Differential Equations (3)
• MAP 5345 -- Applied Partial Differential Equations (3)
• MAP 5407 -- Methods of Applied Mathematics (3) 
• MAS 4156 -- Vector Calculus (4)
• MAS 4301 -- Elementary Abstract Algebra (3)
• MAS 5215 -- Number Theory (3)
• MAT 4970 -- Mathematics Senior Thesis (3)
• MHF 4403 -- Early History of Mathematics (3)
• MHF 4406 -- History of Modern Mathematics (3)
• MTG 4214 -- Modern Geometry (3)
• MTG 4302 -- Introduction to Topology (3)
• STA 4321 -- Essentials of Statistics (3)
• STA 4442 -- Introduction to Probability (3)

One or two courses from another department which are of high mathematical content may be taken as electives, with the approval of the Undergraduate Advisor and the Chairman.

Students who complete both MHF 4403 and MHF 4406 may count only one of these towards the Elective Requirement.

An undergraduate advisor will work with the student in recommending electives which are appropriate for the student’s interests and goals.

Majors wishing to take a course in statistics should first take STA 4442 and then STA 4321.

Majors wishing to continue towards a graduate degree in mathematics should take MAS 4301 and MAA 4211. (See also the section on the Honors Program and the Accelerated BA/MA Program.)

2. Mathematics-related Courses (Min. 6 cr. hrs.)

Majors must take two courses in science or engineering which are required courses for the majors within those departments. The two courses need not be in the same department. Science courses must include laboratories and be offered by the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, or Physics.
