Because of the general nature of this curriculum and opportu– nity to complement the major with electives from other fields of study, this curriculum provides excellent preparation for graduate study in areas that require good quantitative and/or analytical skills such as philosophy, business, and theology. This liberal arts major also prepares students for a wide variety of career opportunities that require a general bachelor of arts degree. The flexibility of this major enables students to select their mathematics and other electives to meet educational or career goals. Students should include courses in astronomy, chemistry, and physics as general electives. Course requirements involve 61 quarter hours including: Mathematics core requirements ............................................ 36 MATH-281,282,283 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I, II, III ...... .... ............... .. ..... .................. ... .. .... ......... 15 MATH-303 Logic and Methods ofProof.. ............................... 5 PHYS-271,272,273GeneralPhysicsI,II,III ............................ 15 GSCI-440Seminar ..................................................................... 1 MATH-387Differentia1Equations ........................................... 5 (orMATH-441 EuclideanandNon-EuclideanGeometry) ...... 5 Electives (selected fromMATH-300 andMATH-400 level courses including at least one course from each of the following sets) ................................................................. 20 SetI: MATH-355 DiscreteMathematics: Graph Theory ................... 4 MATH-356DiscreteMathematics: Combinatorics .................. 4 MATH-384 Probability and Statistics ...................................... 5 SetII: MATH-360NumberThemy ..................................................... 5 MATH-394LinearAlgebra ...................................................... 5 MATH-461 Abstract Algebra I ................................................ 4 Set III: MATH-374ComplexVariables ................................................. 5 MATH-441 EuclideanandNon-EuclideanGeometry ............... 5 MATH-445Topology .............................................................. 5 MATH-471 Real Variables I ..................................................... 4 MathematicsMajor (B.A.) CurriculumSummary Proficiencyrequirements ...................................................... 0-8 Other General EducationRequirements ............................. 70-90 Mathernaticsmajorrequirements ........................................... 61 Electives ............................................................................. 41-61 Total(minimum,notincludingproficiency) ....................... 192 A complete description ofthe General Education Requirements is found on page 30.
