Mathematics Minor

The requirement for a mathematics minor is four 4-credit courses in the department numbered MATH-UA 120 or higher. Of these four courses MATH-UA 211, 212 or 213 may not be used if you have taken Calculus.

Joint Mathematics and Computer Science Minor

The requirements are the following four courses:

* A grade of C or better is required in all courses.

Advanced Mathematical Methods Minor

The mathematical methods minor will consist of four distinct components.Students will be required to take at least one Stern course to fulfill this minor.

1.Linear Algebra MATH-UA 140 (Formerly V63.0140) or equivalent 4 units.

2.Introduction to the Theory of Probability STAT-UB 14 (Formerly C22.0014) 3 units.

3.Numerical Analysis MATH-UA 252 (Formerly V63.0252) 4 units.
OR Numerical Methods I MATH-GA 2010 (Formerly G63.2010) 3 units.

4. One course from the advanced course list below:

Notes
All students must take at least one Stern course in order to meet minor requirements. If a student has completed the CAS version of Probability, STAT-UB 14 should not be taken. Instead, please select one of the following:

Mathematics Education Minor for Math Majors

The Mathematics Education Minor (for Mathematics Majors) enables you toc omplete course work as an undergraduate in CAS that will reduce the number of credits required of a Steinhardt School of Education M.A. degree in Teachers of Mathematics, Grades 7-12 that will fulfill the requirements for Initial teacher certification. The master's degree will require 30 credits including student teaching internships beyond the bachelor's degree.

Ideally you would want to declare the minor and begin taking these courses during your first semester of junior year. Please be advised that most of these courses require a field work component consisting of classroom observation and participation. For course descriptions,please see the current Steinhardt School of Education's Undergraduate Bulletin at http://www.steinhardt.nyu.edu/bulletin.
