Minors Offered

21-127 Concepts of Mathematics
21-228 Discrete Mathematics (or 21-301 Combinatorial Analysis or 21-484 Graph Theory)
21-241 Matrix Algebra (or 21-341 Linear Algebra I)
21-355 Advanced Calculus I
21-3xx Mathematical Science Elective
21-3xx Mathematical Science Elective

Notes: The pre-requisite for 21-355 Advanced Calculus I is 21-122 or 21-123.

21-341 Linear Algebra I is the recommended option for a student planning to choose 21-373 Algebraic Structures as an elective.

Two courses with numbers less than 300 qualify as Electives: 21-229 Set Theory and 21-292 Operations Research I

21-300 Basic Logic (or 21-600 Mathematical Logic I)
21-301 Combinatorial Analysis
21-341 Linear Algebra I
21-484 Graph Theory

and two of the following:
21-229 Set Theory
21-374 Field Theory
21-441 Number Theory
21-602 Introduction to Set Theory
21-603 Introduction to Model Theory
21-610 Algebra I
21-700 Mathematical Logic II

21-241 Matrix Algebra
21-270 Introduction to Mathematical Finance
21-259 Calculus in Three Dimensions (or 21-256)
21-260 Differential Equations
21-370 Discrete-Time Finance
21-420 Continuous-Time Finance

To avoid excessive double counting, Mathematical Sciences majors must also take 21-365 Projects in Applied Mathematics.

The pre-requisite for 21-370 is a course in probability and either 21-257 or 21-292.

The pre-requisite for 21-420 is 21-370 and one of the following three calculus based probability courses: 21-325, 36-225, or 36-217. Also 21-122 is a pre-requisite for 21-260. Note that this is a correction of the pre-requisites listed in the 2004-06 catalog.

Students minoring in Computational Finance are strongly encouraged to take one or two economics courses, e.g., 73-100, 73-200 and 73-251
