The
mathematics curriculum is designed to promote the student's
understanding of mathematical concepts and their interrelations and
applications; provide a symbolic language as a tool for precise
reasoning, expression and computation; lay a foundation for graduate
work in mathematics and/or related fields; and prepare the student for
employment in a wide range of math-science related fields such as
business, computer science, education, insurance, and industry.

Bachelor
of Arts Degree in Mathematics
Requirements
(39-41 credits): Statistics I (MT ), Precalculus (MT
162), Geometry I (MT 231), Matrix Theory (MT 243), Calculus* I, II, III
(MT 261-262, MT 363), Differential Equations* (MT 364), Mathematics
Project (MT 491-492) and two (300 or 400 level) Mathematics electives.
Related courses: General Physics** I, II (PHY 103-104) {or General
Chemistry I, II (CH103-104)} and Computer Science II (CS 210) and
Advanced Java (CIS 270)
{or Visual BASIC (CIS 120)}.
*Note: The calculus sequence takes four semesters and enrollment in the
sequence as soon as possible is strongly recommended.
**Note: The department recommends Physics over Chemistry.
Students who wish to be admitted into the mathematics major need a
minimum grade of C+ in Precalculus (MT 161) and a minimum overall GPA
of 2.0. |
Minor
in Mathematics
Students
must complete 18 credits in mathematics not already required
by their major with at least a "C" in all courses. All mathematics
major courses* from Precalculus (MT 162) and above will be accepted
toward the minor.
*Note: mathematics major
courses are those where the second digit of
the course number is 2 or larger.
Required Courses: MT 262
Calculus I and MT 122 Probability I.
Students who are interested in the mathematics minor should consult
with the Department of Mathematical Sciences for more information.
Double
Major in Mathematics and Education
These
programs are designed to prepare future teachers of mathematics for
teaching grades K-12. As in the previous option, this program is
intended to
promote the student's understanding of mathematical concepts and their
interrelations and applications; provide a symbolic language as a tool
for precise reasoning, expression and computation; and lay a foundation
for
graduate work in Mathematics or Mathematics Education. It is also
designed so that a
student who graduates from the program is able to teach any and all
mathematics courses in the New Jersey Public School system.
The
Department of Mathematical Sciences requires that all majors complete
all math courses including the Mathematics Project (MT 491-492) prior
to student teaching or any internship.
