MATHEMATICSProfessors Ergle, Ingram, R. Minton, Spielman; Associate Professor C. Lee; Assistant Professor Ankney; Teaching Associates J. Minton, Staniunas; Visiting Instructor Bauman The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in mathematics requires the completion of 13 units of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. These units must include Math 122, 131, 201, 331, 361, 431, 491, Statistics 202, and CPSC 120; and four additional units in mathematics or statistics numbered 300-level or above. Minor in Mathematics A minor in mathematics will require six units, including MATH 121, 122, 131, 201 and two additional units in mathematics or statistics. One of these additional units must be at the 200 level or above and the other must be at the 300 level or above. 101 Contemporary Mathematics Theory and application of the contemporary mathematical topics of graph
theory, modeling of social choice, game theory, and selected others.
