Required Courses - Major Program

Commencing in Fall 2014, Mathematics 265, 267, 367, Mathematics 275, 277, 375 and 377 will replace respectively Mathematics 251, 253, 353, Applied Mathematics 217, 219, 307 and 309 and will serve as prerequisites for appropriate courses. In some special cases, Mathematics 267 will replace Mathematics 349 or 353. For these and other deviations from the general rule, see individual course entries for details. Mathematics 267 supplemented by Mathematics 177 will be accepted as equivalent to Mathematics 277.

Recommendations

Students should consult with the Undergraduate Director on a regular basis throughout their program.

Concentrations

Students may focus their program on one of two areas of interest by including a specified set of courses into their Major degree. Successful completion will mean that the area of concentration will appear on the transcript. Students should carefully plan their course selections to ensure that prerequisites for upper-level courses are obtained. Consultation with the Undergraduate Director on a regular basis is highly recommended.
