Minor in Mathematics
A minor in mathematics consists of seven (7) course units which the
student must complete with a grade of C (2.0) or better. Classes
taken on a pass/fail basis may not count toward the math minor. The
minimum requirements are as follows:
- Math
104, Calculus, Part I
- Math 114,
Calculus, Part II or
Math 115,
Calculus, Part II with Probability and Matrices
- Math 240,
Calculus III
- At least one course from the following list:
Note: Students who have already received credit for either Math
370, 371, 502 or 503 cannot receive further credit for Math 312/313/513.
Students can receive credit toward the minor for at most one of the three
courses Math 312/313/513 because of the overlap in their
content.
Students who count both Math 370 and Math 371 toward a Math Minor
cannot count any of Math 312/313/513 toward a Math Minor.
- Three additional course units (to make a total of seven) chosen
from all remaining courses offered by the Math department which are
numbered 202 or above. Some courses given outside the Math Department
can be counted as math courses.
(See Cognate courses.)
In addition, students may count one appropriate course given outside
the department which is not treated as a math course towards a math
minor (a cognate course). For more details concerning cognate
courses, see Cognates.
The math minor is open to undergraduates in SEAS and Wharton as
well as SAS students. Prospective math minor should first obtain an
application form from own school, bring the form to the Math
Department office at 4W1, DRLB to get signed by a Math Minor
Advisor. Students could also e-mail Math Minor Advisors to set up an
appointment or ask questions. The Math Minor Advisors are:
