REQUIREMENTS FOR A MATHEMATICS MINOR (non-Honors students)
Mathematical methods are used today in the social sciences as well as the physical and biological sciences. A minor program in mathematics is a useful supplement to a major program in many different areas. The Mathematics Department has a list of suggested electives to complement various major programs. The minor must include at least 20 hours of mathematics at the 200 level or above with grades of C- or better and a minimum of a 2.0 cumulative GPA in the courses that constitute the minor.
I. REQUIRED COURSES
A. Calculus: 254 (or the accelerated or honors courses)
B. Foundations of Higher Mathematics: 345 or 190H. Math 366* can fulfill this requirement only if
it is required for the student’s major (though credits will not count toward the minor).
C. Linear Algebra: 568 or 571 or 520H (Math 568 and 571 cannot both count on minor.)
II. ELECTIVE COURSES
To reach the 20-hour minimum, students may select courses from the following
(at least 15 hours must be in math):
• Differential Equations: 255 or 415 or 521H
• Any 500 level math course, excluding Math 532 or 588 (Math 568 and 571 cannot both count on minor.)
• Math 601, 602, 603.02, 606, 607, 618, 647, 648, 649, 665, 666, 701
• Statistics 420, 421, or 610
III. RESTRICTIONS
--*Courses used to fulfill a student's major requirements may not be used towards the 20-hour
minimum. However such courses may be used to fulfill the requirements in part I with ZERO hours counting toward the minor.
--The minor must include at least 20 hours of mathematics at the 200 level or above, with grades of C- or better, and a minimum of a 2.0 cumulative GPA, beyond that which is required for the student’s major.
--Math 487H, 593, or 693 may not be used on a minor.
--No more than 10 hours of transfer credit may be used on a minor.
