- A Senior Project (MATH 198 ) in Applied Mathematics which will include a report and a presentation in the Junior Seminar in the spring semester of student’s graduating year.
Advising Notes
- 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.
- See Mathematics Road Map at http://www.fresnostate.edu/degreeroadmap/
- 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.
