Bachelor's in Mathematics major
Introduction
Mathematics major is a Bachelor program taught at Colgate University, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.
The Mathematics Major at Colgate University is built around preparatory courses and major requirements that cover calculus, linear algebra, number theory and math reasoning, abstract algebra, and real analysis. Students complete MATH 163, MATH 214, MATH 250, MATH 375, and MATH 377 within the stated academic timing, plus four mathematics electives selected from approved course levels.
Electives include any MATH course at the appropriate level except MATH 481, MATH 482, and MATH 483. Mathematics majors must also complete a thesis, normally during MATH 483 - Research Seminar: Mathematics. Joint theses are allowed but will not normally be considered for honors; exceptions may be made with departmental permission.
