Kurser påkrævet for en major i matematik

Kravene til en hovedfag i matematik er designet til at give eleverne bredde (32 CH i matematik plus et kursus i datalogi og fysik), dybde (gennemførelse af en to-kursus sekvens*) og fleksibilitet (mulighed for at vælge mellem en antal kurser i den øverste afdeling). Lineær Algebra (MATH 291) er påkrævet, fordi teorien, der undervises i dette kursus, er bredt anvendelig til nutidige problemstillinger, såsom bæredygtighed og informationssikkerhed. Der er også inkluderet kurser, der lægger vægt på teknologi (PHYS 174 eller 184 og CSCI 159).

Krav til sekundær certificering - Hovedfaget er designet til at give eleverne en grundlæggende viden om grundlæggende matematikkurser samt dybdegående studier inden for en specifik gren af matematik. Alle kurser, der anvendes på hovedfaget, skal gennemføres med karakteren C minus eller højere.

Required courses:

• MATH 181 Calculus I
• MATH 182 Calculus II
• MATH 281 Calculus III
• MATH 291 Linear Algebra
• MATH 302 Differentialligninger
• MATH 371 Real Analyse

Gennemfør en af følgende sekvenser (påkrævet af Pennsylvania Department of Education):

• MATH 311 Ikke-euklidisk geometri
• MATH 331 Abstrakt algebra

OR

• MATH 451 Probability
• MATH 461 Statistics

OR

• MATH 432 Numeriske metoder
• MATH 433 Mathematical Modeling

Gennemfør et yderligere matematikkursus på tre eller fire kreditter med nummer 220 eller derover. (MATH 341, 342 eller 481 må ikke bruges til dette krav, men PHYS 363 kan bruges her. MATH 221— Diskret matematik anbefales til hovedfag på sekundær uddannelse).

Elevundervisning vil opfylde grundstenskravet.

Gennemfør følgende støttekurser; en fra hver gruppe:

• PHYS 174 Intro til fysik I (kalkulusbaseret)

or

• PHYS 184 Intro til fysik II (kalkulusbaseret)

Og

• CSCI 159 Introduction to Programming

or

• CSCI 189 Java-programmering
