The requirements of a major in mathematics vary according to the objectives of the student. The seven courses required of all mathematics majors are 111 or 131, 112 or 132, 210, 230, 310, 508 or 509 or 561, 433 or 533. An additional four courses are required, selected from one of the following options.
It would be useful for students planning to do graduate study in
mathematics to complete the following courses: 531, 532, 533, 534,
561, 562.
Students interested in actuarial science should choose the Probability
and Statistics option; for these students a finance minor is recommended.
Transfer students will be permitted to apply up to 14 transfer credits
towards the major; however, the courses 508 (or 509 or 561) and 533
must be completed at the University of Miami.
A combined major in meteorology and mathematics is available. Please see details with the METEOROLOGY section.
