Course Requirements: Pure Mathematics

Requirements for the Major in Mathematics

(consists of four lower-division and eight upper-division courses)

LOWER-DIVISION REQUIRED COURSES

Mathematics 1A Calculus
Mathematics 1B Calculus
Mathematics 53 Multivariable Calculus
Mathematics 54 Linear Algebra & Differential Equations
Mathematics 55 Discrete Mathematics**

UPPER-DIVISION REQUIRED COURSES

Mathematics 104 Introduction to Analysis
Mathematics 110 Linear Algebra
Mathematics 113 Introduction to Abstract Algebra
Mathematics 185 Introduction to Complex Analysis

TWO SEMI-ELECTIVES

Choose one course from two of the following three areas:

Computing: Math 128A Numerical Analysis
Geometry: Math 130 Classical Geometries, Math 140 Metric Differential Geometry, Math 141 Elementary Differential Topology, Math 142 Elementary Algebraic Topology, or Math 143 Elementary Algebraic Geometry
Logic and Foundations: Math 125A Intro to Logic, Math 135 Intro to Theory of Sets

TWO ELECTIVES

At least two additional upper-division mathematics courses must be taken, making a total of at least eight upper-division courses in the major. These two electives must receive the Faculty Advisor's written approval on the Course Approval Form which is then returned to 965 Evans for your student file. Courses in other departments may count toward this requirement provided they have substantial mathematical content.



** It will be required for all students declaring the major beginning Spring 2009, with the exception of transfer students. For transfer students it will be required beginning Fall 2010.
