CHEM 1203LChemical Principles Laboratory

6. 3 semester hours in Computer Programming:

Select one of the following courses:  /cis-2330'>CIS 2330, Programming I; /cis-3360'>CIS 3360, Computer Science; ENGR or math-2340'>MATH 2340, Computer Programming for Mathematics, Sciences and Engineering, or other approved studies.

7. A Minor in Mathematics (21 hours) that includes the following:

MATH 1311Precalculus

MATH 2312Calculus I

MATH 2313Calculus II

MATH 2314Differential Equations

MATH
Plus 9 additional upper-division hours in Mathematics


Students may begin their Mathematics minor with math-2312'>MATH 2312 Calculus I if they have the prerequisite Precalculus course (passed with C or better) from another institution, or has equivalent qualifications from other mathematics courses and permission from the Mathematics faculty.

The Advanced Math (6 hours) consists of any 3000-level or 4000-level courses in Mathematics (in addition to the required math-3314'>MATH 3314). The student needs to fulfill the particular prerequisites for those six hours of advanced mathematics courses and select those that best fit their career goals and/or graduate school.

The following courses do not qualify for the Mathematics Minor for Meteorology Majors:

math-2374'>MATH 2374, Mathematics for Elementary Teachers

math-2375'>MATH 2375, Mathematics and Science Pedagogy for Elementary Teachers

math-3340'>MATH 3340, History of Mathematics
