The Department of Mathematics 478 Pickard Hall Box 19408 817-272-3261 www.uta.edu/math Academic Advising: 478 Pickard Hall 817-272-3261 Bachelor's Degrees in Mathematics The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics and the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics. The Bachelor of Science degree may also be acquired with the explicit addition of one of these options: actuarial science, industrial and applied mathematics, mathematical biology, pure mathematics, statistics, or management science/operations research. The Bachelor of Science (no option) is primarily intended for students wishing to pursue graduate work in mathematics. The industrial and applied mathematics option is aimed at students seeking careers as mathematicians in the emerging high-tech industries. The mathematical biology option is aimed at those seeking careers in that emerging field. The statistics, management science/operations research, and actuarial science options are intended for students with an interest in a career involving various applications of mathematics to the world of business. The Bachelor of Arts is intended for those students desiring to teach mathematics at the elementary and secondary school level and for those seeking a traditional liberal arts education with an emphasis on mathematics. All students seeking a bachelor's degree in mathematics must take at least two mathematics sequences. A sequence is defined as a 3300-level course followed by a 4300-level course in the same general area of mathematics. The approved sequences are as follows: MATH 3321-4321 (Abstract Algebra), MATH 3335-4335 or MATH 3335-4334 (Analysis), MATH 3345-4345 (Numerical Analysis), MATH 3335-4303 (Analysis and Topology), MATH/STATS 3313-4313 (Probability and Statistics), MATH/STATS 3313-4311 (Probability and Random Processes), MATH 3314-4314 (Discrete Mathematics), MATH 3318-4324 (Differential Equations), and MATH 3318-4318 (Mathematical Methods for Sciences). For the statistics option, the second sequence must be MATH/STATS 3313-4311 or MATH/STATS 3313-4313. For the actuarial science option, the second sequence must be MATH 3335-4335, MATH 3335-4334 or MATH 3345-4345. It is strongly recommended that mathematics majors take MATH 3330 (Intro to Matrices and Linear Algebra) and MATH 3300 (Intro to Proofs) as early as possible, since these courses are prerequisites for many other 3000/4000-level courses. It is suggested to take MATH 3330 simultaneously with Calculus III. Mathematics majors must take MATH 3300 before attempting the required courses MATH 3321 and MATH 3335. It is strongly recommended that mathematics majors with little or no computer programming experience satisfy the computer programming requirement as early as possible with MATH 1319, CSE 1311, or 1320. 2013-2014 The University of Texas at Arlington.

Six additional advanced hours (3302 or above, except MATH 4350 and MATH 4351), including either a second sequence or a capstone course specifically for prospective secondary mathematics teachers. Education Requirements Certification requirements are subject to change; consult with an advisor in UTeach Arlington to verify current requirements. SCIE 1101, SCIE 1102, EDUC 4331, EDUC 4332, EDUC 4333, SCIE 4607, SCIE 4107 Total A minimum of 120 hours, of which at least 39 must be 3000/4000 level. Minor Students in non-engineering majors may minor in mathematics by taking 18 hours of mathematics courses with an average GPA in mathematics courses of 2.0, and with at least six hours of 3000/4000 level courses. The courses that may be counted toward a math minor are MATH 1426 and above, except for capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective middle or secondary grades mathematics teachers. Nine hours of the minor must be taken in residence. Engineering majors seeking a math minor should refer to the College of Engineering section of this catalog for the requirements for the engineering math minor. Second Major A student who satisfies the requirements for any other baccalaureate degree qualifies for having mathematics named as a second major upon completion of nine mathematics courses at 3000/4000 level (except for capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective middle or secondary grades mathematics teachers). The following courses are required: 3300, 3314, 3330, 3321, 3335, and one from 4321, 4335, 4334. Besides the sequence 3321-4321 or the sequence 3335 and (4335 or 4334), a second sequence must be part of the second major. The GPA requirements on the mathematics courses for a second major are identical to those listed below under the heading Graduation Requirements. First-time Admission Requirements Students who wish to apply for major status in mathematics must first complete the University and College of Science requirements and the specific requirements of the Department of Mathematics listed below. Overall GPA of 2.25; 2013-2014 The University of Texas at Arlington. All rights reserved. 22

Minimum GPA of 2.25 in at least nine hours of mathematics courses in residence at the level of MATH 1426 or above, excluding capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective middle or secondary grades mathematics teachers; At least six hours from the science or computer science courses listed in the mathematics degree plans; and Twelve hours of courses of the University core curriculum in disciplines other than science and mathematics. Students currently enrolled at the University may qualify to change their major to mathematics by meeting the requirements listed above. Satisfactory Academic Standard Requirement Majors whose overall GPA or GPA in major courses falls below 2.25 will be required to change their major. To re-enter as a mathematics major, the student must meet the requirements listed in the First-time Admissions Requirements section. Non-Credit Courses The following courses will not be counted for credit (as mathematics or electives) toward a bachelor's degree in mathematics: MATH 1301, 1302,1308, 1315, 1316, 1330, 1331, 1332, 4359, 4351, 3319, BSTAT 3321. Capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective secondary grades mathematics teachers can be counted for credit only by those pursuing a B.A. with Secondary Teaching Certification.
