The mathematics department offers some courses that are designated as honors level. Also, for some standard courses there are special honors sections. Honors courses and sections are intended for students who have sufficient preparation and interest to go beyond the normal curriculum. Some of these courses fulfill requirements for various honors programs .

• Honors sections of Math for Liberal Arts 103

  This is a course in cryptography developed for the general honors student who is taking 103. The content is significantly different from the content of the other sections of 103, but the prerequisites are the same. For more information, see the 103H course page Admission is restricted to general honors students. The course is not suitable for math majors or other students taking advanced mathematics.

• Honors courses and sections in CALC1-CALC4

  The standard calculus sequence for students interested in mathematics, science, or engineering consists of the four courses 151, 152, 251, and 252 or 244. During most semesters, there are one or more honors (H) sections of some of these courses. In addition, the sequence 192,291,292 is an alternative honors sequence to 152,251,252, that are aimed at a somewhat higher level than the H sequence.

  Admission to these sections is normally done by invitation. Invitations are made to those students whose academic performance in mathematics indicates that they are prepared for an honors section. In unusual cases, a student who did not get an invitation may be admitted to honors calculus. Students who wish to be considered for admission should apply for special permission.

• Honors courses and sections at the 300 and 400 levels

  All of the courses below require special permission through the department of mathematics.
  

  Math 300. Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning -- Honors Section

  Mathematical Analysis 411-412

  Abstract Algebra 451-452

Special permission for Honors Sections and Honors Courses

Students seeking special permission for honors sections of mathematics courses fill out a green form which is available in the Undergraduate Office in Hill 303. Since there is a separate special permissions process for admission to ordinary sections which have reached their stop point, you will need to explain that you are interested in an honors course to get the right form.
