Sample Schedule
Planning your four year schedule as a mathematics major.
-
Each student's course work will vary accourding to credits taken in high school, ability level, individual preference, and career goals. The following represents a typical schedule. Well-prepared students can begin at a more advanced level. The mathematics major requires two upper-division year-long sequences and an additional upper-division course.
Students thinking of majoring or minoring in mathematics should contact the department as soon as possible, even if they are not ready to formally declare a major.

In thinking about a schedule of classes it is useful to look at how often classes are typically taught and when they will be available.
The upper division math sequences offered every year:
- MATH 3550-4550/4570 - Differential Equations
- MATH 3850-4800/4840/4870 - Probability and Statistics
- MATH 4110-4120 - Algebra
- MATH 4210-4220 - Analysis
- MATH 4310-4320 - Complex Variables
Other upper division math courses that are not part of the sequences but are routinely offered at least every other year:
- MATH 3110 - Linear Algebra For Engineers
- MATH 3270 - Advanced Math For Engineers
- MATH 3810 - Probability and Statistics For Engineers
- MATH 4050 - History of Math
- MATH 4410 - Foundations of Geometry
- MATH 4430- Non-Euclidean Geometry
- MATH 4650- Cryptography
The graduate math sequences are offered every year:
- MATH 5110-5120 - Algebra
- MATH 5210-5220 - Analysis
- MATH 5310-5320 - Topology
- MATH 6310-6320 - Differential Geometry
