Applied Mathematics Minor

The minor in applied mathematics gives students a background in fundamental techniques in Calculus, Statistics, and Linear Algebra, and also introduces students to some important areas of applications in Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, Game Theory, or Programming. A minor in applied mathematics is a good complement to majors in management, economics, banking and finance, or environmental studies. The mathematical knowledge acquired is also useful for graduate studies in these fields.

Not open to majors in Environmental Science or Environmental Studies, or International Economics (any emphasis).

No more than two courses applied to a minor may overlap with the student's declared major.
