Overview of the undergraduate math program

This page is under construction.

Math courses at UW-Madison are grouped into roughly three tiers:

• Classes below the 300 level are generally calculus and precalculus courses or various types and flavors. Students who are interested in mathematics as a major typically complete the 221-222-234 calculus sequence (or its equivalent). Well prepared students might also consider the 375-376 honors calculus sequence as an alternative.
• Classes numbered between 300 and 500 are intermediate level courses classes. These courses typically will have some lower level prerequisites (usually Math 234) and will feature some deeper theory emphasizing proofs and proofwriting and/or applications. At this level you will find our linear algebra courses (a major requirement). You will also find our
