Major And Minor Requirements

Major in Mathematics

The requirements for the mathematics major are twelve courses numbered MATH-UA 120 or higher which must include:

Calculus I—MATH-UA 121
Calculus II—MATH-UA 122
Calculus III—MATH-UA 123 or
Honors Calculus—MATH-UA 221 & MATH-UA 222 (This sequence assumes the student has a solid background in Calculus I. It will intensely cover Calculus II, and III)
Linear Algebra—MATH-UA 140
Analysis I—MATH-UA 325
Algebra I—MATH-UA 343

The rest of the 12 required courses must include one of the following:

The remaining five courses can be any mathematics courses numbered MATH-UA 120 or higher

* Any two computer science courses numbered CSCI-UA 101 or higher may be credited toward the 12 course requirement.

* Students enrolled in and who complete the Premedical or Predental Program and who wish to major in mathematics may substitute at most two math classes by any two of the following; General Physics I and II (PHYS-UA 11 and 12) or Physics I, II (PHYS-UA 100 and 101) toward their 12 course requirement.

* However, if these physics courses are used towards the mathematics major, the computer sciences courses will not apply towards the major. Courses taken under the pass/fail option are not counted toward the major.

* A grade of C or better is required in all courses used to fulfill the major requirement.

* Mathematics majors must maintain a 2.0 math G.P.A.

Joint Major in Mathematics and Computer Science

An interdisciplinary major offered jointly by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, providing the opportunity to study both computer science and such relevant mathematics courses as analysis, algebra, probability, and statistics.

The requirements are ten courses numbered MATH-UA 120 or higher from the Mathematics Department, which must include:

The rest of the 10 required courses must include one of the following:

Analysis II—MATH-UA 326
Algebra II—MATH-UA 344 or
Vector Analysis—MATH-UA 244 and eight computer science courses as required for the major in that department. Please refer to the undergraduate computer science website for information on computer science courses: http://www.cs.nyu.edu/csweb/Academic/Undergrad/majors.html.

* A grade of C or better is required in all these courses to fulfill the major requirement

Joint Major in Mathematics and Economics

An interdisciplinary major is offered jointly by the Departments of Mathematics and Economics, providing the opportunity to study economics, computer science, and in mathematics, analysis, statistics and operations research.

The mathematics requirements are a total of nine courses. The following six courses are required:

Plus three chosen courses from:

The economics requirements are ECON-UA 5, 6, 1, 13, 120, 266, plus any three economics elective courses, at least two of which must be theory electives numbered ECON-UA 300 and 399. Please refer to the undergraduate economics website for information on economics courses: http://www.econ.nyu.edu/undergrad/jointmajors307.html.

Mathematics Minor

The requirement for a mathematics minor is four courses in the department numbered MATH-UA 120 or higher. Of these, two may not apply simultaneously to the requirements for any other major. At most two mathematics courses in the minor may be transferred from other colleges.

* Courses taken under the pass/fail option are not counted toward the minor.

* A grade of C or better is required in all courses applied to the minor.

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:

-Ordinary Differential Equations MATH-UA 262 (Formerly V63.0262) 4 units.
-Partial Differential Equations MATH-UA 263 (Formerly V63.0263) 4 units.
-Statistical Inference and Regression Analysis STAT-UB 15 (Formerly C22.0015) 3 units.
-Introduction to Stochastic Processes STAT-UB 21 (Formerly C22.0021) 3 units.
-Analysis I MATH-UA 325 (Formerly V63.0325) 4 units.

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:

- Statistical Inference and Regression Analysis STAT-UB 15 (Formerly C22.0015) 3 units.
- Introduction to Stochastic Processes STAT-UB 21 (Formerly C22.0021) 3 units.
- Students who have the equivalent of MATH-UA 140 should substitute a more advanced course from the list above.

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.
