The Specialization in Computing is not a major, but a supplement
to the Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, General Mathematics, Mathematics/Economics
majors and Mathematics/Applied Science. It provides an extensive education
in elementary computer science and an introduction to its applications in
mathematics. Students who complete the specialization will receive a notation
on their diploma. Mathematics/Economics majors interested in a Specialization
in Computing must follow the Specialization offered through the Mathematics
Department.
-
Students planning to complete the Specialization in Computing must petition
to add this program to their major after completing PIC 10B. Petitions
should be filed in the Student Services Office, MS 6356.
-
Each PIC course, Math 61 or 113, and at least two courses from Math 149-159
must be passed with a minimum grade of C- and an overall combined GPA of
2.0.
-
Several courses that are required for the Specialization in Computing are
also required for various mathematics majors. Credit for these courses
will apply toward both programs' requirements.
-
Students who have added the Specialization in Computing to their major and
choose to graduate before completing the specialization must officially drop the
program by filing a petition in MS 6356.
-
It is recommended that a sequence, Mathematics 151AB, be taken to satisfy
the upper division mathematics requirement.
