在这里学什么？

The goals of the major program are to assist students in acquiring both an understanding of mathematics and an ability to use it. We wish to inspire the discovery of new mathematics as well as the application of mathematics to other fields.

The mathematics major provides a solid foundation for graduate study in mathematics as well as background for study in economics, the biological sciences, the physical sciences and engineering, as well as many non-traditional areas. This flexibility is available through an appropriate choice of electives within the major. A variety of electives are offered. They are designed to serve the needs of mathematics majors and others who want more advanced training in mathematics and its applications. Most of these courses presume our basic two year calculus sequence.

The mathematics major is also excellent training for students interested in elementary and secondary education. For information on the elementary education undergraduate major or the secondary education sub-matriculation program which leads to a Master's degree, students should consult the Undergraduate Chair as well as the Director of Teacher Education in the Graduate School of Education.

The Mathematics Major comprises 13 courses organized into eight basic requirements. Each of the 13 courses must be taken for a grade (i.e., not pass/fail), and must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better. (A student who receives a grade lower than C in a requirement consisting of more than one course may still count that course toward the major by achieving a grade of C or above in a more advanced course within the same requirement.) The math department also expects the completion of at least one proof-based math class in the freshman or sophomore year in order to be admitted into the major (usually Math 202, 203, 116, 260, or 314), or permission of a math major advisor.

Biological Mathematics Concentration

Mathematical Biology is an area that is growing in importance. Many universities are establishing institutes and centers in this area, and are encouraging the development of courses in it. The Biological Mathematics concentration is intended to train Mathematics majors in key areas of biology, as well as in the core of discrete and continuous mathematics.

A second broad area of biology in which computational methods have for some time been used is in evolution and ecology. Many evolutionary processes when viewed from the genetic point of view involve equations of great complexity. Both mathematical and computational expertise are necessary in quantitative biology.

There are four different majors which combine biology with math or computer science:

• The biological mathematics concentration in the mathematics major
• The mathematical biology concentration in the biology major
• The computational biology concentration in the biology major
• The computational biology concentration in the computer science major
