Advanced Undergraduate
Courses
All our majors are required
to take our three course sequence in calculus:
-
Math 31: Single Variable
Calculus I (or equivalently, Math 20-21: Calculus with precalculus
I and II),
-
Math 32: Single Variable
Calculus II, and
-
Math 33: Multivariable Calculus.
All our majors are also required
to take Math 124: Introduction to Matrix Theory.
For information about these
courses click here.
The rest of our courses,
most of them requiring at least Math 32 as a prerequisite, reflect the
range of mathematical investigation and the research interests of the department.
These upper division courses are:

101: Introduction to Mathematical
Logic.

121: Introduction to Abstract
Algebra I.
-
122: Introduction to Abstract
Algebra II.

In addition to the courses
listed above, we regularly offer undergraduate courses on special topics
and an extensive range of graduate courses, delving more deeply into the
branches of mathematics to which the above courses provide an introduction.
Some of these graduate courses may be taken, with permission, for credit
toward an undergraduate degree. We hope these descriptions encourage you
to consider majoring in Mathematics here at GWU and perhaps even to consider
post-graduate work in the field.
