Mathematics Minor
Description
An in-depth understanding of mathematics is of great importance to many careers in our technologically complex society. Moreover, the study of mathematics promotes analytical and critical thinking skills, and therefore is a valuable part of any program of study. The minor in mathematics is designed to provide knowledge and skills to support career goals in a range of professions. A study of mathematics is a natural adjunct to the study of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, business, economics, computer science, and the social sciences.
The minor in mathematics consists of six mathematics courses and allows students to select courses that coherently complement their particular major.
Admission to the Program
Any undergraduate student with a major in a subject other than mathematics can declare this minor.
Program Requirements
N.B. 2011-13 catalog says six courses twice, but I count seven in the 2011-13 catalog. It appears revision that was passed by the Senate was incorrectly described. This attempts to correct that error. -SBL
At least nine credits toward the minor must be completed at Brockport. If a student wishes to fill some of the requirements of the minor through course work at an institution other than Brockport, the student must first obtain the approval of the department chairperson. See note on major.
Students must complete a minimum of six courses in mathematics, as follows:
Core Courses
- MTH 201 Calculus I
- MTH 202 Calculus II
- MTH 281 Discrete Mathematics I
Elective Courses
Three courses in mathematics, chosen from MTH 203, MTH 243, MTH 255 or any course numbered MTH 324 or higher. Students must choose these electives only after consultation with their mathematics department advisor.
With the consent of the mathematics department advisor, the approved college-level statistics courses are acceptable as a substitute for MTH 243. As of the publication of this catalog, they include ECN 204, PSH 202, SOC 200 and HLS 488.
Student Learning Outcomes
This section is suggested (if they exist) but optional.
