 Department Statistics  ~ 36 professors (asst., assoc., prof.)  ~ 50 lecturers, postdocs, visiting professors  ~ 230 undergraduate students  ~ 95 graduate students  5 major specializations  ∞ mathematical possibilities

 Major Requirements Lower division 2A,2B – Single Variable Calculus 2D,2E – Multivariable Calculus 2J – Infinite Series and Linear Algebra 3D – Differential Equations 3A – Linear Algebra *13 – Intro to Abstract Math 1 year Physics or Chemistry 1 quarter Computer Science

Upper division - 14 classes - Depends on specialization chosen - Breadth and Depth - Electives *Talk with advisor in selecting upper division courses appropriate to your career goals

 Specialization / Concentration Options - Mathematics Major (pure) - Concentration in Mathematics for Economics - Specialization in Applied and Computational Mathematics - Specialization in Mathematics for Education - Specialization in Statistics

 Do lots of problems  Learn to read mathematics books  Never “cram” for math exams, you should be learning the material throughout the quarter  Seek help early if you are confused  Learn to read, understand, and create proofs  Save everything (old texts and notes!)  Try to figure out how different course’s material are related to each other  Do lots of problems

 Honors Program Earn distinction upon graduation by - completing special course requirements, - earning a high GPA, - attending an honors math seminar, and - completing an honor thesis.

 Undergraduate Research Opportunities There are many opportunities for undergraduates to get involved in research projects. Once you have completed a few upper division courses, ask faculty about how you could be involved in research if you are interested. Consider looking for internships, REUs, summer research programs, and independent reading courses.

 Anteaters Mathematics Club Club for undergraduate math enthusiasts – All are welcome! Club activities include math talks, game nights, movies, conference attendance, volunteer opportunities, math problem sessions, study groups, advising sessions, etc. ** First Meeting: Wed., Oct. 1, 3:00-4:00 pm in RH 306

Math Club Meeting : Wed., Oct. 1, 3:00-4:00 in Rowland Hall 306 Mathematics of Numb3rs (Freshman Seminar): Mondays 3:00-4:50 (listed as Univ. Stud. on the class schedule)
