Proposal for Mathematics Minor
The Mathematics Minor is designed to allow students to strengthen their mathematical abilities while pursuing a non-mathematics major. Students may decide on a mathematics minor purely for their own interest, or as a way to prepare them for a career with an emphasis in mathematics (e.g., finance, single subject teaching credential preparation). The proposed curriculum for a minor in mathematics is as follows:
| Calculus 1* | 4 units* |
| Calculus 2 | 4 units |
| Differential Equations | 3 units |
| Linear Algebra | 3 units |
| Computer Programming | 4 units |
| Upper Division Mathematics Electives | 6 units |
| Total for Minor in Mathematics: | 20 units |
*Calculus 1 fulfills the GE mathematics requirement and thus is not considered part of the Mathematics minor. Students who fulfill their GE mathematics requirement with a class other than Calculus 1 must still complete Calculus 1 for the minor. In this case, the mathematics minor is 24 units.
