Mathematics Minor

Pre-requisite Courses for Math Minor

To complete the required courses for the Mathematics minor, you will need to first complete the following pre-requisite courses [by completing the course or establishing credit]. These courses are not part of the Mathematics minor.

• MA 16100 - Plane Analytic Geometry And Calculus I or
• MA 16500 - Analytic Geometry And Calculus I

•  

• MA 16200 - Plane Analytic Geometry And Calculus II or
• MA 16600 - Analytic Geometry And Calculus II

•  

• MA 26100 - Multivariate Calculus

Requirements for the Minor

The Mathematics Minor provides a strong background in mathematics for students majoring in some other discipline. To qualify for the minor, the following classes must be completed with a C- or better.

ALL COURSES FOR THIS MINOR LISTED BELOW MUST BE TAKEN AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY

To obtain a minor in Mathematics, the following courses must be completed.

No substitutions are allowed. A course can only be used in one area.

3 credits from AREA 1
3 credits from AREA 2
6-7 credits from AREA 3

The three courses used for Areas 2 and 3 cannot all be from the same group.

TOTAL CREDITS FOR MINOR: 12-13 credits

Note

*For many students, MA 26500  may not be adequate preparation for upper division mathematics classes. Students planning a Mathematics Minor should consider taking MA 35100  instead. Only students with a very firm grasp of the MA 26500  material [and a grade of B- or better] should contemplate taking MA 35300  without MA 35100 

** MA 26600  with at least a “B-” can be used in place of MA 36600  [only one of MA 26600 /MA 36600 /MA 30300 /or MA 30400  can be used in Area 3]. MA 26200  will not be accepted for the minor.
