Advanced Undergraduate Courses
  The standard three course sequence in calculus is completed with:
  • Math 32: Single Variable Calculus II, and
  • Math 33: Multivariable Calculus.

To fulfill the prerequisite requirements math major also must take:

  • Math 71: Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning
  • Math 72: Introduction to Computing in Mathematics
  • Math 84: Linear Algebra I

Math 71 and 72 are two credit hours, and are opened to math majors, or with permission of instructor, or department undergraduate advisor. 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:

Mathematical Logic:

  • 101: Introduction to Mathematical Logic.
  • 102: Axiomatic Set Theory.
  • 103: Computability Theory.
  • 104: Computational Complexity.

Topology/ Geometry:

  • 106: Introduction to Topology.
  • 135: Projective Geometry.
  • 148: Differential Geometry.

Applied Mathematics:

  • 142: Ordinary Differential Equations.
  • 143: Partial Differential Equations.
  • 153: Introduction to Numerical Analysis.
  • 159: Introduction to Mathematical Modeling.
  • 181: Seminar: Applied Mathematics

Combinatorics:

  • 113: Introduction to Combinatorics.
  • 132: Introduction to Graph Theory.

Linear/ Abstract Algebra:

  • 120: Elementary Number Theory.
  • 121: Introduction to Abstract Algebra I.
  • 122: Introduction to Abstract Algebra II.
  • 125: Linear Algebra II

Analysis:

  • 139: Real Analysis I
  • 140: Real Analysis II
  • 157: Introduction to Complex Variables.
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.
