The upper-division curriculum provides programs for mathematics majors who may want to go on to graduate school in mathematics as well as courses for students who will use mathematics as a tool in the physical and behavioral sciences and the humanities.

All courses used to satisfy major requirements must be taken for a letter grade, and must be completed with a C- or better.

Lower Division Requirements

1. One of the following sequences:
  a. Math 20A-B-C-D-E-F
    Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations
  b. Math 31AH-BH-CH, 20D
    Honors Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations

Upper Division Requirements

In addition to these lower-division courses, mathematics majors must complete at least thirteen (13) one-quarter, upper-division courses including:

1. Math 109 Mathematical Reasoning
(students completing Math 31CH may replace Math 109 with a 4-unit Upper-division Math elective)
2. One of the following sequences:
  Math 140A-B Foundations of Real Analysis
  or
  Math 142A-B &
Math 120A
Intro to Analysis
Elements of Complex Analysis
3. One of the following sequences:
  Math 100A-B Abstract Algebra
  or
  Math 103A-B & Math 102 Modern Algebra
Applied Linear Algebra
4. A total of thirteen (13) four-unit, upper-division mathematics courses, including items 1,2,3 above.

As with all departmental requirements, more advanced courses on the same material may be substituted with written approval from the departmental adviser.
