2010-2011 - Sweet Briar College

Mathematical and computer sciencesSweet Briar CollegeMathematicaland ComputerSciencesStudents in the mathematical programs analyzeand solve problems in a variety ofenvironments while improving and extendingtheir logical skills. Major programs may beelected which emphasize abstract or appliedmathematics.A student may earn either a Bachelor of Artsor a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics.Interdepartmental majors are offered in mathematicaleconomics and mathematics-physics.Students interested in any of these majors areencouraged to consult the department chair foradvising assistance.Note: No more than two 300-level courses maybe double-counted for a mathematics major anda statistics minor. No 300-level course may bedouble-counted for a mathematics minor and astatistics minor.The Mathematics Major (B.A.)(45 semester hours)Required:CSCI 188 (4) -Java Programming IMATH 123 (4) -Calculus IMATH 124 (4) -Calculus IIMATH 223 (3) -Calculus IIIMATH 232 (3) -Linear AlgebraMATH 318 (3) -Mathematical ProofsMATH 323 (3) -Sequences and SeriesMATH 333 (3) -Algebraic StructuresSenior Exercise:MATH 452 (3) -Senior SeminarChoose 1 of the following courses:MATH 424 (3) -Advanced CalculusMATH 434 (3) -Topics in Abstract AlgebraChoose 3 additional three-credit coursesin mathematics at the 300-level or above. BIOL320 and PHYS 201 may be used toward thisrequirement.And choose 1 three-credit course in statistics.Note: Either MATH 304 or MATH 306 willsatisfy both the statistics requirement and a 300-level mathematics course requirement.The Mathematics Major (B.S.)(62-63 semester hours)Required:CHEM 131 (4) -General ChemistryCHEM 141 (1) -General Chemistry LabCSCI 188 (4) -Java Programming IMATH 123 (4) -Calculus IMATH 124 (4) -Calculus IIMATH 223 (3) -Calculus IIIMATH 232 (3) -Linear AlgebraMATH 318 (3) -Mathematical ProofsMATH 323 (3) -Sequences and SeriesMATH 333 (3) -Algebraic StructuresPHYS 171 (4) -General Physics ISenior Exercise:MATH 452 (3) -Senior SeminarChoose 1 of the following options:Option A:CHEM 252 (4) -Introduction to Quantitativeand Inorganic ChemistryCHEM 253 (1) -Introduction to Quantitativeand Inorganic ChemistryLaboratoryOption B:PHYS 131 (1) -Introductory Physics Lab IPHYS 132 (1) -Introductory Physics Lab IIPHYS 172 (4) -General Physics IIChoose 1 of the following courses:MATH 304 (3) -Mathematical StatisticsMATH 306 (3) -Applied Linear RegressionMATH 315 (3) -Biostatistics142­
