Degree Requirements - Four Year Schedule
This webpage contains the mathematics four year schedule of the
current
on-line bulletin, frozen at
June
1, 2008 and in force
September 1, 2008. For past
mathematics catalogue information or updates please see the
recent
versions and updates section of the
degree overview
page.
FOUR YEAR QUARTERLY COURSE SCHEDULE
The schedule below is a suggested schedule only. Scheduling of courses
may be altered, subject to approval of the advisor, in order to take advantage
of advanced placement, or to accommodate a second major, area minor or other
special program. However, note that some courses are offered only at certain
times during the year, and all prerequisites must be met. In the schedule
an MA elective is either a concentration elective or free math elective,
as described above, and a science elective is a physical or life science
elective as defined on this page.
Alternate Science Schedule: The recommended
basic chemistry course is CHEM 105 unless a student is taking a second
major or minor requiring CHEM 111 or credit for CHEM 111
has already been received. If CHEM 111 is taken instead of CHEM 105 then
the order of the basic science electives in the freshman and sophomore
is the second science course listed. Two science courses are to be taken
in the winter quarter of freshman year

Department.
- Math Elective: A course either required by the concentration
or a true math elective.
- Science Elective: Any Physical or Life Sciences
elective (not Computer Science) at any level.
