There are three different versions of single variable calculus offered by the Mathematics Department, including 2 versions of semester courses in Calculus I and II, roughly equivalent to Calculus AB and BC in the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) system, and a single semester honors version encompassing both Calculus I and II.
The undergraduate program in the Department of Mathematics is intended both for students interested in preparing for graduate study and research in pure mathematics, and for students interested in using mathematics to pose and solve problems in the sciences, engineering, social sciences, or other areas. Undergraduate mathematics majors will study:
- The foundations of analysis, which begins with the study of functions and their derivatives and integrals
- The fundamentals of advanced algebra, which is based on axiomatic systems involving operations of addition and multiplication in general settings
- Additional subjects such as geometry, probability, and topology
- Applications of mathematics to science and/or engineering.
