Mathematics and related subjects play important dual roles in our culture. On the one
hand mathematics is the study of pure thought in its own right; on the other, it furnishes a
language for the expression of ideas in the various sciences. The courses offered by the
department are designed to develop an appreciation of both roles, particularly for those who
plan to continue in study, to teach, or to use mathematics in research or in applications in
the various Aelds of pure and applied science. Certain courses are also suitable for students
in other areas. See Statistics and Probability, below, and Degrees and Credentials-General
Education Requirements.
HIGH SCHOOL PREPARATION
Two years of algebra and courses in geometry and trigonometry or a sequence of
mathematics courses containing their equivalents are prerequisite to entry into either a
major or a minor program in mathematics. Such study should be completed before entrance
into the university.
DUPLICATION OF COURSES
No credit will be allowed for Math· 29 or 30 if taken after completion of Math 71 or 75. No
student transferring credit in calculus will receive more than a total of 12 units of credit for
equivalents of Math 75, 76, and 77.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT CREDIT
See General Information-Advanced Placement
STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
The Mathematics Department offerS a series of courses in probability and statistics
intended for students majoring in mathematics who plan to work toward a master's or
doctor's degree in statistics, as well as for students in the Ufe and physical sciences, social
sciences, and engineering, who are interested in the rapidly increll,sing number of
probabilistic methods in their fields. For further information, consult the Department
Chairman.
BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE
The department offers a program leading to the bachelor of arts degree. The program
eonsists of a basic set of required courses giving a strong, well-rounded mathematical
background, with an opportunity to elect additional courses according to individual interests.
Courses are offered in the following areas; preparation for graduate study in mathematics,
teaching mathematics, application in industrial or related Aelds. The attention of those
interested in teaching mathematics in the elementary school is directed to the mathematics
minor program.
