The Math Minor

The logical, computational, and problem-solving skills that are developed in mathematical training make mathematics an excellent choice as a minor for many majors. This document is a guide to the requirements of the mathematics minor. If you have any questions, consult a math adviser: see the list in 567LA.


Six (6) Courses Total

A minimum of two courses must not be required by the major.

  • Two (2) calculus courses

    MTH U241, MTH U242 Biology Majors may substitute MTH U151 and MTH U152.

  • Linear Algebra U371

    Engineering majors who take the two courses U341 (calculus III) and U343 (differential equations and linear algebra) need not take U371.

  • One (1) upper level mathematics course selected from MTH U3xx or higher

    Note that many of the 400 level courses have U341 (Calculus 3) and/or U371 (Linear Algebra) as prerequisites.

  • Two (2) upper level mathematics courses selected from MTH U4xx or higher.

NOTE: In planning your schedule be aware that many upper level (U4xx and higher) courses run in alternate years, and are only offered in the Spring or Summer I semesters (but not both).
