Mathematics

With a range of course offerings beginning with introductory mathematics, this department provides a strong undergraduate program. The department aims to prepare students to continue their education in graduate study; to fulfill the mathematics requirement and to provide the foundation for study in such related fields as chemistry, physics and computers; to give students the necessary background to enter certain areas of business and industry; and to acquaint students with the basic concepts of mathematics, an essential aspect of a liberal arts education. No course with a grade lower than C - will be accepted toward a major or minor in mathematics. In addition, a C average (calculated as the College calculates G.P.A.) must be maintained over all courses required for a major or a minor.

Mathematics Major Requirements

• Calculus II
• Differential Equations
• Calculus III
• Advanced Calculus
• Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics
• Programming and Multimedia in Java
• Linear Algebra
• two 3000-level electives from the department offerings
• the Senior Evaluation.

Mathematics Senior Evaluation

Seniors must enroll in the year-long course MATH 3997 and MATH 3999: Senior Readings and Seminar. See description under course listings.

Mathematics Departmental Honors

Departmental Honors in Mathematics are conferred upon graduating seniors who have maintained an average of 3.7 or higher in courses required for the major (calculated as the College calculates G.P.A.).

Mathematics Minor Requirements

Two courses approved by the department beyond the level of Calculus II would constitute a minor in mathematics. Any questions should be referred to a member of the department.
