Honors Track

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:  161.01H - 162.01H - 263.01H or 190H - 191H - 264H
B.  Linear Algebra: 520H
C.  Foundations of Higher Mathematics: 345
1.  required for those who take the 161.01H sequence, preferably while concurrently taking 263.01H
2.  waived for those who take 264H
D.  Data Analysis: Statistics 421



II. REQUIRED COURSES FOR TRADITIONAL TRACK

E. Differential Equations:  521H
F. Abstract Algebra Sequence: 590H-591H-592H
G. Real Analysis Sequence:  190H-191H (is double counted if taken as the freshman calculus sequence)


III.    ELECTIVE COURSES
In addition to the above, students are required to complete a minimum of 15 hours selected from the following list:

 •    Calculus on Manifolds  540H - 541H
 •    Complex Variables  522H
 •    Number Theory
 576H - 577H
 •    Probability  531H, or Stat 420
 •    Real Analysis  651-652-653
 •    Vector Analysis  264H (cannot count as an elective if taken as a part of the calculus 
sequence requirement)
 •    a maximum of 3 hours of 593 or 693 may be used as an elective

Note:  540H-541H and 576H-577H are offered in alternate years.           
•    187H/487H (Problem solving seminars) would be an excellent enhancement.
