Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

All mathematics majors are required to take a minimum of 43 credits in
mathematics courses, including Mathematics 121, 122, 201, 222, 235, 301, 351 and 421. Acceptable mathematics electives are courses numbered 251 or above. In addition, Computer Science 121 is required and should be taken as early as possible. As part of these requirements, students may elect one of the following three concentrations:

 The Applied Mathematics concentration provides a background in applied
 mathematics and statistics, enabling graduates to seek careers in government
 and industry, or to pursue graduate work in applied mathematics or statistics.
 The Applied Mathematics concentration requires three courses selected
 from Mathematics 321, 331, 352 and 362 and one course from acceptable
 mathematics electives; Computer Science 122; and Physics 200.

 The Pure Mathematics concentration is designed to provide a foundation
 for successful graduate study in mathematics. The Pure Mathematics concen-
 tration requires Mathematics 425 and 441, and two courses from acceptable
 mathematics electives.

 The Secondary Education concentration (Mathematics Education) is
 required for secondary education certification. Students in this concentration
 are given a solid foundation in geometry, algebra and statistics essential
 for effective teaching and analysis of the secondary school mathematics
 curriculum. In addition to the requirements above for the Mathematics
 major, the Secondary Education concentration requires Mathematics 341,
 either Mathematics 252 or 352, and two courses from acceptable mathe-
 matics electives; Education 106, 151, 241, 305, 470, 490, 497; Special
 Education 282; Physics 200; and two English courses (one writing and
 one literature). Education 161 or 162 also is recommended.
