329 Advisement All Mathematics majors should see the Mathematics Department to be assigned an advisor. They should meet with their advisors at least once a year to help plan their programs and check on their progress. Call 801-626-6095 for more information or to schedule an appointment. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see page 18) with your advisor. There are no special admission or application requirements for the Regular or Applied mathematics emphases. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department). General Education Refer to pages 37-43 for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. PHYS PS/SI2210 will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education. PSY SS1010 (3) in the Social Sciences area is recommended for the Mathematics Teaching Emphasis.

Support Courses Required (10 credit hours) PHYS PS/SI2210 Physics for Scientists & Engineers I (5) PHYS SI2220 Physics for Scientists & Engineers II (5) Graduate School Preparation It is highly recommended that students planning on graduate work in Mathematics take Linear Algebra (MATH 3350) and Topology (MATH 4320) in addition to the above. See the Mathematics Department for counseling. Course Requirements for Applied Mathematics BS or BA Degree The Applied Mathematics Program provides an opportunity for WSU students to apply mathematics to different fields. The program requires 19 credit hours of core lower division mathematics courses, a minimum of 12 credit hours of upper division applied mathematics courses and additional upper division courses in specified fields, including mathematics, so the total upper division credit hours reaches at least 40. To design a specific program different from the tracks below, students must get approval from a Mathematics Department advisor. Lower Division Mathematics Courses Required for All Tracks (19 credit hours) MATH 1200 Mathematics Computer Laboratory (1) MATHSI1210 Calculus I (4) MATH SI1220 Calculus II (4) MATH 2210 Calculus III (4) MATH 2270 Elementary Linear Algebra (3) MATH 2280 Ordinary Differential Equations (3) 1. REGULAR TRACK A traditional diversified program in applied mathematics. Required Upper Division Mathematics Courses (12 credit hours) MATH 3410 Probability and Statistics (3) MATH 3550 Introduction to Mathematical Modeling (3) MATH 3710 Boundary Value Problems (3) or MATH 3750 Dynamical Systems (3) MATH 4610 Numerical Analysis (3) Mathematics Electives (at least 12 credit hours) Complete at least an additional 12 credit hours of upper division Mathematics courses. Support Courses Required (6-10 credit hours) Complete 2 calculus based courses outside the Mathematics Department, for example PHYS PS/SI2210 Physics for Scientists and Engineers I (5), ECON 3030 Managerial Economics (3), CHEM 3400 Molecular Symmetry and Applied Math for Physical Chemistry (3), etc. Graduate School Preparation It is recommended that students planning on graduate work in Applied Mathematics take MATH 4210/4220 Introductory Real Analysis and all Mathematics courses in the future area of graduate study. See the Mathematics Department for counseling. 2.
