Minor in Mathematics

Many physics majors take enough math courses to qualify for a minor in math. At present, the requirements are:

Required Mathematics Courses s.h.
MATH 161* Calculus I 4
MATH 211 Calculus II 4
MATH 311 Calculus III 4
MATH 322 Linear Algebra I 4
Total: 16

*With permission, MATH 163 Honors Calculus I (5.0 s.h.) may be taken in place of MATH 161.
