******************DRAFT**************************

Notes:

• Students majoring in math who plan to graduate with Honors in the Arts and Sciences MUST take at least the 161.01H or 190H sequence and one other honors math sequence.
• Students will be required to obtain written approval for some tracks prior to their junior year for their planned program of study from a faculty advisor, assigned by the Mathematics Counselors.

I.  CORE REQUIREMENTS

A.  Calculus sequence: 151.xx - 152.xx - 153.xx - 254.xx, or one of the accelerated or honors sequences

F.     Probability: Math 530 or 531H or Stat. 420
G.    Linear Algebra:  572 (waived for students who have taken 520H)   
H.    Numerical Analysis: 607 (or approved substitute)

III. REQUIRED BIOLOGY-RELATED COURSES
I.     Biology Sequence: Chem 121, Bio 113 or 115H, Bio 114 or 116H

K.    Molecular Genetics:  MG 660, 661 or Biology: Bio 401, 402

"Mathematics is applicable to many different aspects of biology, and new applications are continually being found. In order to allow students to choose the directions in which they wish to apply themselves, we have listed several options as electives. We fully expect that students will take the appropriate prerequisites associated with the courses they choose, and students will be advised accordingly."

IV. ELECTIVE COURSES (9 credit hours)

In addition to the above, students are required to complete a minimum of 9 hours selected from the list below. Substitutions are permitted, but only with the written approval of the faculty advisor.  You are allowed to pick courses from any category, but it is highly recommended that you specialize in one area.

1. Biology:
Evolution:                                             EEOB 400 (evolution)
Introductory Ecology:                            EEOB 503 (introductory ecology)
Molecular Genetics:                              MG 500 (general genetics)
Microbiology:                                        MB 509 (basic and practical microbiology)                         
Intro to Neuroscience:                           Neuroscience 300 (introduction to neuroscience)

2. Mathematics:
Advanced ODE/Dynamical System:         MATH 615, 616 (or 556, 557, when approved)
Analysis:                                               MATH 547 or 190H
Algebra:                                               MATH 580 or 590H
Complex Variables:                               MATH 514 or 522H
Discrete Modeling:                                MATH 578
Geometry:                                            MATH 507

3.  Others (which have at least Chem 123 as requisite):
Biochemistry:                                       BIOCHEM 511
Organic chemistry:                               Chem 251, 252, 253

Note: The application of mathematics to biology is highly interdisciplinary in nature, continually finding not only new applications within biological fields, but also new fields in which to apply mathematics.  As such, we expect future students and interested faculty to propose courses, sequences, and tracks not listed here.
