A typical student planning to
get a B.S. in Mathematics (who
in this example entered SPU in the fall of 2008) would follow the schedule
below. Courses in normal print are required for the major, while
courses in italics are upper division electives. A total of 18 credits
of upper division math electives are required for the B.S.

Autumn |
Winter |
Spring |
| Freshman Year (08-09) |
MAT 1234 Calculus
I
|
MAT 1235 Calculus
II
|
MAT 1236
Calculus III |
Sophomore Year (09-10)
|
MAT 3360
Probability and Statistics
|
MAT 2401 Linear Algebra
MAT 3237 Differential Equations
|
MAT 3238
Vector Calculus MAT 2720
Discrete Mathematics
MAT 3730 Complex Variables (alternate years) |
Junior Year
(10-11)
|
MAT 3749
Introduction to Analysis MAT 4610
Evolution of Mathematical Thought (alternate years)
MAT 3724 Applied Analysis |
MAT 4402 Modern
Algebra I
MAT 4830* Mathematical
Modeling (alternate years) |
MAT 4403 Modern Algebra II (alternate years)
MAT 3441 Axiomatic Geometry (alternate years)
MAT 4363* Mathematical Statistics (alternate years) |
Senior Year
(11-12) |
MAT 4899 Senior
Capstone Seminar MAT 3401 Number Theory*** (alternate years) |
MAT 3751 Real Analysis II (alternate years)
MAT 4725 Numerical Analysis (alternate years)
|
MAT 3443
Transformational Geometry (alternate years)
MAT 3730 Complex Variables (alternate years) |
* MAT 4363 and 4830 are strongly
recommended as two of the elective courses for the B.S.
Note that a number of courses are
offered on alternate years. It
is therefore quite important that students wishing to major in mathematics
start out by taking the calculus sequence in their freshman year. Also, since a number of upper divisional courses require MAT 3749
as a prerequisite, it is important to take that course during the Autumn
quarter of the junior year. |
