Mathematics, Applied (BS) Program Prerequisite: Not required for Mathematics and Applied Mathematics majors. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department). Minor: Required only for the regular mathematics major. Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses required for this major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable), in addition to an overall 2.0 GPA and a 2.0 GPA in mathematics classes numbered 1210 or above. Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation; 31-46 of these are required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above); at least nine credit hours of upper division Mathematics must be completed at Weber State University. 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 Program of Study (Major/ Minor) Declaration) 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 Degree and General Education Requirements for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. PHYS 2210 will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education. PSY 1010 (3) in the Social Sciences area is recommended for the Mathematics Teaching emphasis. Major 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 following tracks, 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 (l) • MATH 1210 - Calculus I (4) • MATH 1220 - 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 I (3) • MATH 3550 - Introduction to Mathematical Modeling (3) • MATH 3710 - Boundary Value Problems (3) or • MATH 3280 - Dynamical Systems (3) • MATH 4610 - Numerical Analysis I (3) Mathematics Electives (at least 12 credit hours) Complete at least an additional 12 credit hours of upper division Mathematics courses.
