Curriculum

The entire mathematics curriculum and course offerings can be found in the Course Catalogue (Download PDF File) It begins with a two semester calculus sequence after which students choose among a range of abstract and applied courses. The concentration culminates in the Senior Seminar, taken by all majors in the fall of their senior year. These small seminars focus on different areas of mathematics and are primarily presentations by students. The following spring, students may elect to write a thesis, working independently under faculty guidance. Several past papers have appeared in various journals. Recent examples of student research projects include:

• Cheating at Cards: A Variation of the Game of War
• Deterministic Models in Population Ecology
• Traffic Flow: When does a T-Junction Require a Left-Turn Lane?
