Undergraduate

Every fall approximately 1000 to 1200 students enroll in our diverse undergraduate course offerings.  Future mathematics majors generally (but not always) begin with one of our introductory proof-based courses, MAT215 (Analysis in a Single Variable) or MAT214 (Introduction to Number Theory).  Our other lower division courses, numbered between 100 and 204, develop key analytic skills at a variety of levels appropriate for prospective majors in the natural sciences, engineering, finance, economics and other social sciences.

We have collected detailed information here to help you figure out which courses or sequences are right for you.  Start with our

Then look through the catalog of individual courses and the placement section.  Detailed information about majoring in mathematics has its own section in the web site.
