Students entering Northeastern University beginning in Fall 2003 will follow the following program

Note: The upper division mathematics electives will mostly be scheduled during the spring semester and the first half of the summer. Students who participate in the Coop program should plan to be on campus during these times in order to take the courses for their program.

Math Core: Nine (9) Required Mathematics Courses

B.S. Degree in Mathematics	B.A. Degree in Mathematics
MTH U170: Math. Discovery & Computers MTH U241, U242: Calculus 1-2 MTH U341: Calculus 3 MTH U345:  Ordinary Differential Equations MTH U371 : Linear Algebra MTH U481 : Probability and Statistics MTH U550: Real Analysis MTH U575 : Groups and Rings	MTH U170: Math. Discovery & Computers MTH U241, U242: Calculus 1-2 MTH U341: Calculus 3 MTH U201:  History of Math. MTH U371 : Linear Algebra MTH U481 : Geometry or MTH U430 : Number Theory MTH U550: Real Analysis or MTH U565:Topology MTH U575 : Groups and Rings

These courses should be chosen according to the student's vocational track:
  1. Actuary,   2. Applied/Industry,   3. Education,   4. Pure

1. Actuary Track: For students interested in working insurance and finance. Recommended courses are Statistics and Stochastic Processes, Introduction to Actuary, and the capstone course Actuary Practice.

2. Applied/industry Track: For students interested in employment in industry and high tech companies. Recommended courses are Applied Analysis, Fourier Series, Numerical Analysis and the capstone course Applied Mathematics.

3. Education Track: For students interested in secondary teaching of mathematics. Recommended courses are History of Mathematics, Number Theory, Geometry. Student Teaching is recommended.

4. Pure Math Track: For students interested in preparing for graduate school in mathematics. Recommended courses are Topology and the capstone course in Pure Mathematics.

This is a College of Arts & Sciences requirement; for mathematics majors, it is satisfied in one of the following ways:

• MTH U725: Applied Math Capstone. This is particularly appropriate for students in the industrial/applied math track of the B.S. degree.
• MTH U790: Actuarial Practice. This is particularly appropriate for students interested in becoming actuaries.
• Seminar in Pure Mathematics: This is particularly appropriate for students in the pure math track of the B.S. degree. (Will be made available when student interest warrants.)
• Student Teaching. This is particularly appropriate for students in the secondary education track of the B.S. degree and doing a minor in education.
• MTH U951: Experiential Education Directed Study. This is for math majors for whom the other course options are not appropriate.

(MTH courses taken to satisfy this requirement are also counted as math electives.)

The Core Curriculum is designed to give the student a broad-based education beyond their expertise in mathematics.
