Mathematics - Pure Math Option, B.S.

Bachelor of Science Degree Requirements Mathematics - Pure Math

The requirement for entrance to the major and minor programs is completion of two years of algebra as well as courses in geometry and trigonometry, or a sequence of courses containing their equivalents, such as MATH 3 and MATH 5 . It is strongly recommended that such study be completed before entrance to the university.

Major Requirements (57-60 units)

General Education Requirements (48 units)

(see notes 2 and 3)

Other Requirements (9 units)

American Government and Institutions (PLSI 2 ), Multicultural and International (MI), and Upper-division writing

Total Units: 120*

* Sufficient elective units to meet required total units (varies)

* G.E. and MI courses can be double-counted with major requirements. See advisor for details.

The Culminating Experience for the Pure Mathematics Option consists of the following:

A Junior Seminar (MATH 193B ) in Pure Mathematics in the spring semester of the year prior to graduation, and
A Senior Project (MATH 198 ) in Pure Mathematics, which will include a report and a presentation in the Junior Seminar in the spring semester of student’s graduating year.

Major Advising Notes

One 3-4 unit mathematics course, upper division or graduate, excluding MATH 100 , MATH 102 , MATH 133 , MATH 134 , MATH 137 , MATH 138 , and MATH 139 . Special conditions apply for graduate courses; see department advisor.
PHYS 4AL is not required for the math major. If students wish to include PHYS 4A as a General Education Breadth course, they must also take PHYS 4AL .
Three units of MATH 75 (or MATH 75A ) also will satisfy the G.E. Foundation B4 requirement.

Advising Requirements. It is strongly recommended, to all math majors, to have an advising session at least once a semester. See the department chair for assignment to an advisor.
Grade Requirements. All courses required as prerequisites for a mathematics course must be completed with a grade of C or better before registration will be permitted. All courses taken to fulfill major or minor requirements must be completed with a grade of C or better.
