CHANGES in the Major:

• STAT 451 & STAT 452: Statistics for Engineers and Scientists are now available for elective 400-level credit, although it cannot be used as the required 400-level sequence. STAT 451 is offered every term and replaces STAT 460. STAT 452 is usually offered Winter and Spring terms. All majors are strongly encouraged to include some statistics in their undergraduate program. All prospective Secondary Mathematics teachers should have two courses in probability and statistics.

• MTH 356: Discrete Mathematics is currently available for elective credit. It is an ideal “first-proofs” mathematics course after you've completed the calculus sequence and is usually offered Winter and Summer terms. All prospective Secondary Mathematics teachers should have a course in Discrete Mathematics.

• MTH 261: Introduction to Linear Algebra replaces MTH 343 for linear algebra requirement for the mathematics major.

• MTH 271: Mathematical Computing is currently available as a substitute course for the required CS 161. The course covers the basics of computer programming using mathematics examples to help you with other mathematics courses and is offered Spring term.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Register as soon as possible for math courses. Our 300-level courses fill up quickly.

• If you are closed out of a course because you do not meet the pre-requisites, but believe you can attempt the class or you DO have the pre-requisite, contact the instructor and request a signature on an ADD form.

• Many students find that they need to take at least one other proof-course before attempting the MTH 311-12 sequence.

• You may take up to four MTH/STAT courses for the major using the Pass/No Pass grade option.

• You MUST apply to graduate two quarters before you plan to graduate.

• Visit your Math Advisor to work out a schedule for at least the next two quarters. Plan ahead.

• For those planning on teaching at the high school level, please see Prof. Sean Larsen or Prof. Luis Saldanha for advice on national tests and experiences needed to enter our Graduate Teacher Education Program (GTEP)
