NOTES A. General Comments

1. Students planning to go on to graduate school in pure mathematics should take Math 105 (Complex), 111 (Abst. Alg. I), 112 (Abst. Alg. II), 113 (Topology), 153 (Interm. Analysis I), 154 (Interm. Analysis II).
2. Students who show proficiency in a high-level programming language may substitute another course to fulfill the technology requirement in lieu of Math 10.
3. Students are referred to the Bulletin for details concerning other recommendations and substitutions.

B. Special Recommendations for Those Preparing for California Teacher Credential Programs

1. Students must complete Math 100, 101 (Geometry), 102, 122 (Prob. & Stats. I), 170 (Devel. Math.), 176 (Comb.), either 175 (Numb. Th.) or 178 (Cryptography), and two other uper division courses from an approved list.
2. Students must complete Educ 98B or 198B (Second. School Teach.), Educ 138 (Except. Child) or 163 (Teach. in Multicult. Soc.), Women/Gender Studies 107 (Women in Math & Sci), a U.S. Constitution course, and Commun. 20 (Public Speaking).
3. Physics 11 and 12 (formerly 20 and 21) may be substituted for Physics 31 and 32 (formerly 4 and 5).

C. Special Recommendations for the Emphasis in Applied Mathematics

1. Students must complete Math 22, 102, 122, 123 (Prob. & Stats. II), 166 (Num. Analysis), and 176.
2. Students must also complete two courses from Math 144 (PDE), 155 (ODE), 164 (Comp. Simul.), 165 (Lin. Prog.), 178 (Cryptography), or an approved alternative (but not from courses designated as the computer science sequence [see Computer Science Sample Curriculum]).

D. Special Recommendations for the Emphasis in Actuarial Mathematics

1. Students must complete courses designated for the emphasis in applied mathematics (as given in the previous section), except that Math 164 is required.
2. Students must also complete Business 40 and 41 (Stats and Data An. I, II). Students are recommended to complete Econ 11, 12, 13, and 115.

E. Special Recommendations for Students interested in Computer Applications

Students are referred to the requirements for C.S. minors and the upper division tracks recommended for C.S. majors.

At least 12 upper division courses (60 units) are required for graduation. Thus, if the English Composition course is not an upper division course, at least three of the free electives must be upper divsion courses.

The information presented on this webpage is not intended as the official statement of graduation requirements. The student is referred to the current University Bulletin.
