The Mathematics Major offers a variety of Named Options which allow a major to focus on those topics in mathematics which have a strong relationship to a particular other area of study. This page describes those options and highlights topics and courses worthy of special consideration.
NOTES:
1) Be aware that the below describes initial collections of courses and ideas worth considering which fulfill major requirements. Please refer to the guide for all possible courses which can be applied to your named option plan and meet with an advisor in order to decide what plan works best for you.
2) Note that course suggestions do not include prerequisites.
3) Courses offered by departments/schools besides mathematics may have restricted enrollment.
MATHEMATICS FOR DATA, STATISTICS, AND RISK ANALYSIS
For students interested in mathematics inspired by or used in the fields of Statistics, Data Science, Actuarial Science, Bio-Statistics, and many others.
Students interested in this option should choose coursework focused on linear algebra, probability, statistics, analysis, and computational mathematics.
