See an adviser as early in your program as possible. Mathematics advisers can also help you determine the best placement for you as you begin your math program.
STAT 451-452: Applied Statistics for Engineers and Scientists I & II is available for 400-level elective credit, but it cannot be used to fulfill the required 400-level sequence.
MTH 481-482: Probability/Statistics for Mathematics Teachers . Starting Winter 2011 these courses will no longer count as the required 400-level sequence for students in the Secondary Education Option. However, they could be used as 400-level electives for the mathematics major.
MTH 434-435: Set Theory & Topology I & II is a newly approved 400-level sequence for mathematics majors. MTH 435-436 Set Theory & Topology II & III is also an approved sequence; however, you may use MTH 435 to fulfill only one of the two sequences - you may not use it for both.
MTH 487/587: This course is now being taught under the title Discrete Mathematics for Teachers. The focus of the course will be on preparing math teachers for teaching Discrete Math at the high school level. (A new Combinatorics course will replace the former Introduction to Combinatorial Analysis.)
Some things to keep in mind:
Register as soon as possible for math courses. Our 300-level courses fill up quickly.
Many students find that they need to take at least one other proof-course before attempting the MTH 311-312 sequence.
All majors are encouraged to include some statistics in their undergraduate program.
If you are closed out of a course because you do not meet the pre-requisites, but believe you can attempt the class contact the instructor.
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 actually graduate.
Visit a Math Adviser to work out a schedule for at least the next two quarters. Plan ahead.
High achieving Math & Statistics students may pursue the Departmental Honors Option. If you are interested, contact a mathematical sciences undergraduate adviser for more information.
For those planning on teaching at the high school level, please see Prof. Jeanette Palmiter or Prof. Jennifer Noll for the GTEP Departmental Recommendation. Contact the School of Education for information on application requirements to GTEP including PRAXIS exams.
