Mathematics Degree Requirements
|
The requirements of a major in mathematics vary according to the objectives of the student. The seven courses required of all mathematics
majors are 111 (or 131), 112 (or 132), 210, 230, 310, 433 (or 533), and 508 (or 509 or 561). An additional four courses
are required, selected from one of the following options:
- General Mathematics:
four of 510, 512, 531, 532, 534, 551, 562.
- Applied Analysis:
311, 512, 513-514 or 515-516 (coursework in physics is
desirable).
- Computational Mathematics:
320, 517, 520-521.
- Probability and Statistics:
224, 524-525, 528 or 542.
- Secondary School Teaching:
224, 309, and two of: 502, 504, 505 (only for those obtaining a teaching credential).
- Mathematical Economics: MTH 524-525, ECO 512
or ECO 520 or ECO 521, ECO 533.
Students preparing for graduate study in mathematics should complete all of 531, 532, 533, 534, 561, 562.
Students interested in actuarial science should choose the Probability and Statistics option; for these students a finance minor is
recommended.
Transfer students will be permitted to apply up to 14 transfer credits towards the major; however, the University of Miami's courses 508 (or 509 or 561) and 533 must be completed.
A minor in mathematics requires three of the following courses which must be taken in the Mathematics Department, University of Miami: 210; 211 or 310 or 312; 224, 309, 311, 320; 500-level mathematics courses
with departmental approval.
A grade of "C-" or better is required for each course applied towards the major or minor; the overall quality point average for the major or minor
must be 2.5 or above.
Requirements for departmental honors in Mathematics: Three two-course sequences from 513-514, 515-516, 520-521, 524-525, 531-532, 533-534, 561-562; the student must attain at least a "B" in each course used to fulfill this requirement. In addition, the student
must attain at least a 3.5 average overall for all courses counted toward the mathematics major and an overall (university-wide) average of at least
3.3.
For requirements leading to the Master of Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Arts, or Doctor of Philosophy degrees, with a major in mathematics,
see the Bulletin of the Graduate School.
