Mathematics, Applied and Pure (BS)

All Mathematics Majors

• Program Prerequisite: Not required for Applied and Pure Mathematics majors. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department). 
• Minor: No minor is required.
• Grade Requirements: A grade of “C” or better in courses required for this major (a grade of “C-” is not acceptable), in addition to an overall 2.0 GPA and a 2.0 GPA in mathematics classes numbered 1210 or above.
• Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours are required for graduation. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above); at least nine credit hours of upper division Mathematics must be completed at Weber State University.
• Program Code: Mathematics Teaching (6030BS), Applied and Pure Mathematics (6031BS) with Regular Applied Mathematics Emphasis (6022), Computing Applied Mathematics Emphasis (6023), Engineering and Physical Science Applied Mathematics Emphasis (6025), Actuarial/Financial Applied Mathematics Emphasis (6026), Theoretical Mathematics Emphasis (TBD)
• CIPC: Applied and Pure Mathematics (27.0301), Mathematics Teaching (13.1311), Computational Statistics and Data Science (30.7001)

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.)

Admission Requirements

Declare your program of study (see Student Access and Success, Services and Information ) 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

Major Course Requirements for Applied Mathematics BS or BA Degree

The Applied Mathematics Program provides an opportunity for WSU students to apply mathematics to different fields. The program requires 19 credit hours of core lower division mathematics courses, a minimum of 12 credit hours of upper division applied mathematics courses and additional upper division courses in specified fields, including mathematics, so the total upper division credit hours reaches at least 40. To design a specific program different from the following tracks, students must get approval from a Mathematics Department advisor.

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
• Knowledge and ability to apply concepts of several areas of applied mathematics (probability and stats, numerical analysis,etc.)
• Ability to comprehend and write correct mathematical arguments
