Advisement All Mathematics majors should see the Mathematics Department to be assigned an advisor. They should meet with their advisors at least once a year to help plan their programs and check on their progress. Call 801-626-6095 for more information or to schedule an appointment. (Also refer to the Department Advisor Referral List.) Use Grad MAPs to plan your degree Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see Program of Study (Major/Minor) Declaration ) with your advisor. There are no special admission or application requirements for the Regular or Applied mathematics emphases. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department ). General Education Refer to Degree Requirements for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. PHYS 2210 will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education. PSY 1010 (3) in the Social Sciences area is recommended for the Mathematics Teaching emphasis. Program Learning Outcomes - Knowledge of and the ability to apply the concepts of differentiable, integral, and multivariable calculus
- Knowledge of and ability to apply the concepts of matrices and Euclidean vector spaces, and orginary differential equations
- Ability to comprehend and write proofs that are logically, gramatically, and mathematically correct
- Knowledge of and ability to prove results in analysis and algebra
Language Courses Required to fulfill the BA (14 credit hours)
