About the Undergraduate Program
The Undergraduate Program in Mathematics offers a broad variety of
courses
serving the needs of students in all majors, with courses designed
for all students of liberal arts, as well as more technical majors
ranging from accounting and pharmacy through the mathematical
sciences and
Mathematics (pure or applied) itself.
For Liberal Arts students we offer a course (Math 103)
in which mathematical ideas, many of them quite recently developed,
are applied to matters of general concern such as issues of
apportionment in
politics, or (for the more artistically inclined) the nature of
symmetry.
Many students in more technical majors, from Pharmacy and Business to
Physics, take one of the two flavors of our calculus sequences,
either the
more specialized—and more extensive—sequence
beginning with 151 for those in the
mathematical sciences, or the sequence beginning with 135 for the less
mathematically intensive majors.
For mathematics majors and minors, we offer a program designed to
cultivate both technical skills and a conceptual grasp of the underlying
theory. In addition to the basic requirements, mathematics majors and
minors can choose from a wide array of course electives and specialized
options. Students in combined 5-year programs may also earn a Masters
Degree with one additional year of study. Interdisciplinary programs
(Stat/Math and Biomath) are also offered.
