Secondary Mathematics subject area course advising
The below advising material is intended to help Secondary Mathematics students decide the order in which they take their required MATH courses. Students are advised to always pay attention to prerequisites when registering for subject area courses.
These grouping are recommendations only: you are able to take subject courses in any order if you have completed the prerequisites for them. You may find individual courses harder or easier depending on your aptitude and the nature of instruction.
First (in no particular order, except that we recommend students take MATH 222 in their first semester)
- MATH 222 - Calculus 3 - take in your first semester
- MATH 323 - Probability - requires strong background in differential & integral calculus. If you are unsure about your calculus background, delay until the winter semester after you have taken MATH 222
- MATH 338 - History & Philosophy of Math
- MATH 348 - Euclidean Geometry
Later (the rest of the required MATH courses, ordered from what is likely most accessible to least accessible)
- MATH 324 - Statistics
- MATH 223 - Linear Algebra
- MATH 315 - Ordinary Differential Eqns - take after completing MATH 223. You may want to take MATH 314 as well before taking MATH 315
- MATH 235 - Algebra 1 - we recommend students do not take both MATH 235 and MATH 242 in same semester
- MATH 242 - Analysis 1 - we recommend students do not take both MATH 235 and MATH 242 in same semester
Complementary Courses you can take anytime (i.e. you can take these early on)
- COMP 202 - Foundations of Programming
- COMP 230 - Logic and Computability
- MATH 318 - Mathematical Logic
- MATH 329 - Theory of Interest
