Program Requirements

AK/MATH 1710 6.00 is a prerequisite and is required to fulfill the general education requirement. Refer to AK/MATH 1710 6.00 course description notes for further details.

Note 1: Students may also take computer science courses AK/AS/SC/CSE 3121 3.00, AK/AS/SC/CSE 3122 3.00 and AK/AS/SC/CSE 4111 3.00 as major courses in mathematics.

Note 2: Of the 1000 level AK/MATH courses, only AK/MATH 1700 6.00, AK/MATH 1710 6.00 and AK/MATH 1720 6.00 fulfill the general education requirement for mathematics.

Note 3: Students who do not intend to take 2000 level physics courses and/or who do not have any of the OAC calculus or the sequence AK/AS/SC/MATH 1300 3.00 and AK/AS/SC/MATH 1310 3.00, but have taken or are taking AK/MATH 1710 6.00 should take SC/PHYS 1410 6.00 instead of SC/PHYS 1010 6.00.
